Courageous & Confident: Thriving Skillfully as an Ambitious Woman

Session Description

for their advancement, despite having external success and possessing wildly ambitious goals. Based on Velera’s award-winning book “You’re Absolutely Worth It,” this talk has helped women (and men) around the world realize they can operate with greater confidence in their careers and everyday life. With real-life examples, methodologies and engaging questions, she challenges them to look inward, elevate how they see themselves and their work, so they can go after what they really want and own the rooms and seats they are in. In this hands-on session you will learn:

  • How to get to the root of their self-doubt during moments of fear and paralysis.
  • Practical shifts they can make to break ties with limiting beliefs and shift into confident action.
  • Why they should – and how to – own every single step they’ve taken to get to where they are today.
  • Strategies to help them bounce back after failure and “no”.
