How confident are you? And shy is it often so hard to be the confident woman you know you are? Navigating your way through the confidence conundrum

This talk will help you understand the impact societal norms have on your ability to think beyond your own limitations (known and unknown) to become the best version of yourself, and will provide practical strategies to explore confidence through the lens of societal and cultural norms.
