Spending all day in online meetings but struggling to get a word in edgeways? Wish you had the confidence to lean in and make your voice heard?
Virtual meetings present a fantastic opportunity to increase your visibility and to engage directly with people you might not otherwise meet but they can be tricky to navigate, especially for the introverts amongst us. During this session we learnt from two amazing women who have nailed this art, had a chance to try out their tips and techniques for participating in and chairing meetings, and learnt how to become an ally for others.
Ever walked into a meeting and questioned your right to be there? Have you ever taken on a new job and then you felt you weren’t really the right person for it? For many people this is a common life experience and one which can be quite debilitating if left unchecked. This session focused on this and on a set of related behaviours that are often referred to under the title of ‘imposter syndrome’.
