Forget the Apologies and Learn to Lead with Confidence
Do you find yourself apologising for no good reason? Do you deflect praise or minimise your accomplishments? Are you frustrated that women’s confidence is often perceived as arrogance?
Apologies are confidence killers. So, why do women apologise all the time? With every unnecessary apology you give, you chip away at our confidence. Professor Maja is on a mission to turn the apologetic communication styles of women into confidence building lingo.
Apologies have become a habitual way of communicating for many women and it’s intimately linked to feelings of being an imposter. Imposter syndrome ensures you never feel “good enough”, which can lead to you undervaluing yourself and feeling like you don’t belong.
Maja draws on years’ worth of data collected with thousands of women around the world to inform her research and build her concepts and strategies. This seminar will help you to forget the apologies, claim your credibility, and learn to lead with confidence.
Professor Maja
Sociologist, Author, TedX Speaker & Confidence-Builder
The world’s foremost expert and researcher on gendered confidence inhibitors
I am a sociologist, author and TEDx speaker. I’m also a confidence-builder and apology-hater. I graduated with a Ph.D. in Sociology in 2014 (focusing on the sociology of women’s health), with no clear career in mind, until I attended an academic conference that completely changed the trajectory of my research, my career and my life. At that conference, I witnessed women at the pinnacle of their career deflecting praise (we call that feminine modesty) and over-apologising for mundane issues. I immediately became obsessed with apologies.
