Do you often feel blocked / limited in our ability to take big / small decisions at work because you are afraid of conflict ? Does the fear of failure make you feel powerless, nervous or mindless? If you answered Yes to these questions, you are not alone. These barriers are making us followers of the herd rather than explorers who define their own path to success.

But it also is truly exhausting to be different from others at the table, so why not just comply? Isn't the mold there for a reason? Learn about tools to identify, self-examine, strategize and break the mold leading yourself to new horizons and own your success.
This talk is intended for students, early and mid-career or anyone who are looking to be self and situationally aware to follow their passion and grow as leaders.
