This Woman Can

One of the things I love about producing TWC, is the women I am privileged to interview each week. When I hear their stories of determination focus, drive, tenacity and sheer bloody mindedness to achieve their goals - it's give me inspiration to keep pursuing my dreams and aspirations. Sonia Gill is no exception! She is a broadcast journalist, media regulator, development practitioner and attorney at law. She was also the first woman to be appointed Secretary General of the Caribbean Broadcasting Union (CBU) in its forty-eight year history. Underneath the measured and softly spoken individual  revealed a determined woman oozing a admirable level of gravitas. 

Listen as she shares:

How she overcame her hate of public speaking

How she embraces failure in her life. 

The damage of comparing yourself to others.

Are you sabotaging your own success?  

A recent KPMG report says risk-taking is vital for women to be leaders 

48% of professional women surveyed said risk-taking has improved their confidence at work.

55% agreed that risk-taking helps career advancement

So why don't women take risks at work?

41% say it's because they fear looking like they don't know as much as they should

40% believed they be ignored or not taken seriously

37% had a fear of failing

Does that sound like you?

Listen as I reveal;

The things tell ourselves as to why we can't take action in our careers. 

How others influence the decisions that impact us the most. 

How you can take control of your limiting fears

In episodes 8 and 9,  I’ve focused on goal setting - How you can set your goals, what you need to do to be successful 2019, what the kind of mindset you need to have, all centred around your career.

Now you’ve returned to work, those questions become even more pertinent. So, how do you take ownership of your goals at work? How can you get the support you need to achieve? How can you make yourself visible? How can I make sure that I stay on track with the goals?  

It's not just a one way street, people often overlook that they can actually take control of their own personal development. You don’t have to wait for your employer to map out your future and you can get increased returns when you take charge of your own personal development.

Listen as I share my proven strategies
