This Woman Can

Recently a friend sent me a BBC headline Alexandra Burke: ”UK has 'massive problem' with confident women” with the question posed - Do you think female stars are forced to play down their own success to seem "likeable"?

This week I discuss the concept of what I believe to be the myth of overconfidence - I see it more of a double bind scenario where we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. We should be able to own our acheivements and not play small to make others feel comfortable with our acheivements.

I only cover a small area in this week's podcast but you can read more on my site at Real Talk With Janice or just click the link!

So we’re rapidly approaching the end of the first quarter of the year - already and in some parts of the world, people are looking forward to Spring and the demise of Winter. It's a time for us to reflect on the achievement of goals promised or to come - what did you promise yourself,what have you achieved?

Is it time to press YOUR reset button to make sure you achieve your goals?

Shining a light on the upcoming younger but no less impressive, powerful Phenomenal Women, my interviewee this week is Amaya Athill.  

Amaya is a Public Leadership Fellow and Visiting Graduate Researcher at the Jeanne Sauve Foundation and McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Her work currently includes research on and explorations of concepts of leadership in culturally diverse societies.
Prior to this, Amaya spent 5 years practicing as an Attorney-at-Law specializing in civil
litigation and human rights law at the law firm Lake & Kentish in Antigua where she actively sought to represent people from marginalized communities, specifically, prisoners, victims of gender-based violence, and persons from the LGBTQ community. She is called to the Bar of England and Wales and Antigua. She obtained her Masters in Law (LL.M), with a specialization in International Law, from the Georgetown University Law Center as a Fulbright Scholar in 2013.

As a youth leader, Amaya chaired a group of young professionals who organized and hosted the first-ever youth-focused political debate between the two main political parties in Antigua dubbed “The National Youth Forum” in 2014. Amaya continues to be passionate about highlighting and uplifting the voices of Antiguan youth and fostering youth civic engagement through her most recent #YouthOfAntigua series which can be found on the NYF Antigua Facebook page (@NYFAntigua on Instagram). Amaya was also the Co-Chair of the inaugural
TEDxAntigua event held in June 2015.

An avid community service volunteer, Amaya served as the Legal Advisor to the Halo Foundation Inc. – a non-profit Organization spearheaded by the Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda, Sir Rodney Williams, and his wife, Lady Williams. Amaya also served as the director of Youth Projects for the Rotary Club of Antigua from 2016 - 2017. Amaya was a Caribbean-Canada Emerging Leaders (CCELD) Fellow as well as an IMF/World Bank Civil Society Fellow.

Amaya intends to continue to represent Antigua to the best of her ability and push
for positive transformative change specifically through advocating and working in the
areas of youth engagement, social justice, and human rights.

Need some support regaining your confident self? 

I'm delighted to let you know that registration for my signature confidence building program WARRIOR is now open and I really would love to have you in this program with me

Take this step to join a collective of women just like you, becoming the Warriors of their own lives.

The program is a combination of group coaching and a personal strategy focused on the goals you want to achieve. The WARRIOR program will help you to step up, see the potential you have and give you the confidence to take action to move towards a more powerful and fulfilling way of living the life you deserve, all delivered online so it doesn't matter what part of the world you live.

Now, how do I know it works? Because I’ve been just like you, a working mom, a divorcee, single parent, survived an abusive marriage. Yet using the same tools, I learnt how to regain my confidence and self-esteem, attend University

At some point in our lives we’ll feel stuck, that uneasy feeling in the pit of our stomachs, the dull persistent sensation of the unknown running through our heads and the inner dialogue of “What is my purpose?”, “What am I doing with my life?”, “Where am I going”, “When is this going to change? This often happens when we stop listening to our authentic selves and get sidetracked by life. 

So this week we'll look at some quick tips we can adopt when we feel a little stuckness coming on!
