How to Champion Yourself
We are excited to announce that Women-Space is again collaborating with jobs.ac.uk to host an exclusive webinar on ‘How to Champion Yourself’.
Many women find it difficult to speak about their strengths and achievements. Research from Indeed demonstrates that whilst women find other women’s accomplishments motivating, they avoid talking about their own successes and even downplay their merits.
Drawing on a wealth of experience, Christina Hughes and a panel of women leaders, will provide insight into how you can claim your space as awe-inspiring women, without sounding boastful. Our webinar will include a live Q & A session to answer your questions.
Topics:
Learn why it is insufficient to simply tell women to self-promote
Have a better understanding of when it’s acceptable to draw attention to your achievements
Hear about different techniques that can enhance your visibility and support other women
Understand why it is sometimes good to talk of your failures
Your questions answered in a Q & A session
