 CONFIDENCE & 

 COMMUNICATION 

 STYLES

Apologies are confidence killers. So, why are women apologizing all the time, and why does it matter? In this workshop, you will learn about the gender and racial differences in apologies and other communication patterns such as feminine modesty (the tendency for women to downplay their achievements) and deflection of praise.  You will also learn strategies to stop apologizing for needless issues and how to own your accomplishments by turning your apologetic communication style into confidence-building lingo. Lastly, you’ll learn what Professor Maja’s global study on confidence has shown thus far.

 HOW TO DEAL 
 WITH IMPOSTER 

 SYNDROME 

Do you ever feel like you’re never good enough or smart enough? Do you feel like you don’t belong and that somehow, you’ve fooled people and you’ll be exposed as an imposter or fraud? Research shows that the imposter syndrome is something we all go through, but women are more negatively impacted by it. In this workshop you will learn how the imposter syndrome is influenced by our family, careers, caregiving duties, and academic stress. You’ll also learn how the imposter syndrome shows up in our lives (through a fear of failure and the expectation of perfection), and strategies we can immediately implement to manage our self-doubt.

 The 
 confidence 
 cult 

Do you keep your opinions to yourself unless you’re sure you have something worthy to say? Do you doubt your skills or experiences, even ruminating over a past mistake? Have you missed out on opportunities, whether it’s public speaking or professional advancement because you thought you might fail? The answer to these questions has to do with self-confidence, what is it, how do we get it and the hurdles to building it.

The first half of the seminar focuses on external and structural factors that negatively influence women’s confidence. The second half of the seminar explores the internal hurdles to our self-confidence along with science-backed strategies we can employ in our personal and professional lives.

  • What the cult of confidence is

  • How and why the self-help industry disproportionately focuses on women’s “lack of confidence”

  • Why external factors such as bias, likeability and toxic work environments negatively impact women’s confidence

  • Develop confidence-setting goals and values

  • How self-compassion strategies can boost our confidence by helping us re-evaluate our inner critic and build our confidence through action.

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!
