Building Others by Being A Champion

Successful technical organizations and individuals realize the need for mentoring and supporting internal growth opportunities. Providing mentoring opportunities increases an employee’s ability to stay satisfied and find growth avenues within your organization leading to increased employee retention and reduced hire and retaining costs. One of the most impactful ways to increase mentoring programs is to create a culture of being more than just a mentor but by being a champion to others, no matter your status or experience.

Dr. Trego motivates audiences while instructing on building others by being a champion yourself.

Squashing the Impostor Syndrome: Contribute More. Compare Less.

One of the quietest confidence killers isn't failure. It's comparison. When we measure our behind-the-scenes against everyone else's highlight reel, we talk ourselves out of opportunities we've already earned.

This interactive session goes straight to the heart of that habit. Through case studies, guided practice, and real conversation, participants identify the comparisons keeping them stuck and build personalized tools to break the pattern.

The goal isn't perfection or pretending comparison never happens. The goal is to contribute with more confidence, more clarity, and less hesitation.

Practical. Hands-on. Immediately useful. This is confidence-building as a skill, not a pep talk.
