Professor Maja combines sociology with sequins for a charismatic storytelling experience on women’s everyday obstacles with confidence.
Her informal, witty and energetic style of speaking educates and inspires women to get out of their comfort zones and take action! Professor Maja can customize her keynotes to your audience.
On behalf of Insurance Business, it has been an absolute privilege to partner with Professor Maja as our keynote in the 6-city fall Women in Insurance Virtual Conference Series. From our audience in London to Chicago to Toronto, Professor Maja quickly demonstrated her unique way of both relating to attendees, while also challenging them to be better with tangible steps to grow as a leader. Her powerful talk on Forget the Apologies, and Learn to Lead with Confidence set the tone for the day and is one of the best topics not only seen at the WII conference, but across our many verticals. Thank you, Professor Maja, for partnering with IB Magazine to empower and encourage women globally!

Overcoming

syndrome:
.WHY YOU ARE.

Imposters tend to deflect praise and minimize their accomplishments. They attribute their successes to external sources like “being lucky”. It’s been argued that women who feel like imposters lack confidence. But perhaps women DON’T lack confidence, what if their confidence is chipped away at by biases, toxic workplaces, and childhood experiences?
