Travelling back to #Anglesey after attending another fab Female Founders Rise event at Kindred in London—a summer celebration of FFR service founders, with discussion, bubbles, pizza and doughnuts.
2 amazings hosts Emmie Faust, and Sarah Ellis Davies, and 3 inspiring speakers Ozlem Tuskan, Susan Walbrook, Dr. Dupe Burgess, all sharing their own experiences of #impostersyndrome, on overcoming it, and the daily challenges of silencing the inner critic.
I first heard the term imposter syndrome about 20 years ago, when confiding in a co-worker about crippling feelings of anxiety, lack of confidence; "That's imposter syndrome, everyone gets it" they said. At least I knew what it was, and it did help knowing that I wasn't alone.
And I think that's what's so powerful about FFR events. Being able to hear such inspiring stories first hand, then share our own experiences with peers in a safe and welcoming space, is truly empowering. And the result? Stronger women leaders, who then build stronger, successful businesses.
Lovely to see Fiona Brownlee FCMA, Chloe Davies again and wonderful to meet Tina Jennings 🌟 Change Expert, Celia Harding, Sarah Ellis Davies.
Special thanks to Susan Walbrook for the impromptu 💪 pep-talk I needed for an important meeting coming up. #goteamsusans 😝
A gloriously sunny evening (chucking it down back at home), super-chic venue, and great company—thank you Emmie Faust for building this community. If I could bottle up and sell the positive feels I get from these meet-ups, I would make a killing. 🤑🤑🤑
