Overcoming Self-doubt

October 27, 2021
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Wednesday 27 October, 12:00 – 13:00 BST

 

We all face self-doubt, however talented or high-achieving we are. Despite past successes, we can still doubt our ability to realise our ambitions for the future. When we face career hurdles – be it the post-graduation job hunt, finding a new path after a job loss, transitioning into a new sector, or combating Covid-related challenges these doubts can surface. Whilst some self-doubt drives us to improve, persistent self-doubt can hold us back.

 

Are you taking the first career steps during the early years after graduation? Join us to hear three speakers on their personal journeys and discover strategies to help you to step onto the path to overcoming self-doubt and achieving success and inner peace.
