On February 25th, EMPOWER partnered with EY to host an insightful session focused on a topic that resonates deeply with many of us: projecting confidence authentically in the workplace. For those of us freshly entering the job market, the transition can be daunting, filled with uncertainty and the pressure to fit in. This session aimed to address those feelings and provide us with practical tools for navigating this new chapter.
Entering the workplace often comes with a whirlwind of emotions. Excitement, fear, and self-doubt can cloud judgment, leading many of us to adopt a persona that feels more acceptable or professional. However, this facade can hinder genuine connections and personal growth. Recognizing that it's normal to feel this way is the first step toward overcoming it.
The facilitators at EY brought invaluable expertise to the session, demonstrating how to project authenticity in professional settings. They shared practical strategies that encouraged us to embrace our true selves rather than conform to perceived expectations.
One of the most significant aspects of the session for me, was the sense of community fostered by the cohort. Sharing vulnerabilities and learning from one another created a supportive environment where everyone could grow together.
"At EMPOWER we believe that collaboration and connection are essential for personal and professional development."
As we embark on our professional journeys, we are encouraged to embrace our individuality and project confidence in a way that feels true to ourselves. Thank you to EMPOWER for being committed to providing resources and opportunities for our growth. We look forward to future workshops like these that inspire and empower us to thrive in our careers.
