About This Session

Women leaders face unprecedented pressure to deliver efficient results, demonstrate irreplaceable value beyond artificial intelligence, and cultivate skills that position their organizations for future growth. Embracing the courage to voice diverse ideas, challenge outdated practices, seek assistance, or admit uncertainty are crucial steps that propel women leaders and their organizations toward growth and impact. 

However, the fear of rejection, humiliation, or failure can hinder their ability to act boldly, leading them to prioritize safety and restrict their growth potential. 

This interactive program provides participants with practical tools to enhance their competence and confidence, empowering them to speak up courageously, take calculated risks, and embrace their brilliance in the workplace.
