From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust

From Self-Doubt to Self-Belief: Building Confidence and Overcoming Your Inner Critic

Despite their achievements, many women continue to question their abilities, hesitate to pursue new opportunities, or feel the pressure to be perfect. Whether it's imposter syndrome, fear of failure, perfectionism, or an overly critical inner voice, self-doubt can become a significant barrier to personal and professional growth.

Join Anne Stunell, Executive Coach, Mentor and award-winning HR professional, for an inspiring and thought-provoking session exploring the realities of confidence in the workplace and how women can develop greater self-belief, resilience, and self-trust.

Drawing on more than 25 years of HR leadership experience and her own journey building a successful career in traditionally male-dominated environments, Anne will share practical strategies to help participants recognise their strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and navigate change with confidence and authenticity.

Grounded in coaching psychology and tailored to the realities of modern working life, this engaging and interactive session will equip attendees with tools and techniques they can apply immediately to overcome self-doubt, manage their inner critic, and thrive both professionally and personally.

This event is particularly relevant for women who are returning to work, stepping into leadership positions, facing career transitions, or seeking to strengthen their confidence and presence at work. Men are also warmly encouraged to attend, especially those who support, mentor, or lead women and wish to create more inclusive, empowering workplaces.

Attendees will leave with greater self-awareness, renewed confidence, and practical advice to help them embrace opportunities, speak up with conviction, and achieve their full potential.
