We're back with our 3rd episode of our mini-series on how to build confidence. We're both so excited to continue the conversation and realized that building confidence goes so much deeper than we originally thought. 

If you haven't listened to the first two episodes, please go back and listen to Episode 31 & 32 before listening to this one. We go over the basics of confidence in Episode 31 and get a little deeper with each proceeding episode.

In this deep dive, we cover;

- Developing and mastering a high value skill

- True confidence comes from within

- Surrounding yourself with confident people

And we touch on one of the most important skills to master, in order to feel and come off as a more confident woman! Make sure you ~listen~ to the end ;)

We hope you're enjoying this mini-series! If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please reach out on Instagram @wisewomenoncesaidpodcast

Brooke and I have received lots of feedback that building confidence (in a male-dominated industry) is one of the biggest challenges for women in STEM. For that reason, we are making a whole series on Building Confidence in the workplace!

There's so much to touch on because true confidence doesn't come from faking it - it comes from practice, preparation, and understanding the why's of what you're doing. In this episode specifically, we talk about;

- How to prepare for a big test/interview/presentation

- How to write (or rewrite) your own story 

- How to improve your body language to feel more comfortable and confident

We are very passionate about sharing actionable tips that we've used in our careers. We hope you gained a lot of value from this episode. There's plenty more confidecne tips coming as well!

We're back with another episode discussing one of the most important things when starting your career. We all want more of it, but how can we build genuine confidence? We're kicking down the cliches and giving you real, actionable tips to build your self confidence.

"Fake it till you make it" Ehhh not quite

"Just be confident" - okay but.. how??

"Don't worry what others think" - easier said than done.

Here's what we dive into!

- Using your inner voice to spark confidence

- Being curious and learning new things

- And how to avoid "fear of failure"

Building confidence will take time, but through practice and patience, confidence will shine through! We hope you take away something positive from today's episode.

This is part 2 of our conversation with Carol Latham who started a company called Thermagon Inc and grew it into a multi-million dollar business.

If you haven't listened to part 1, please go listen to Episode 24 BEFORE listening to this episode. You'll hear about Carol's upbringing and how she started Thermagon.

In this episode, we dive into Carol selling the business and how she was able to part with her company and step back as CEO.

Carol is so wise and we're very grateful she spent so much time with us. Please share this episode if you think it could help a young entrepreneur! And be sure to reach out on our instagram @wisewomenoncesaidpodcast

This is, without a doubt, one of our favorite guests we've had on the show! Carol Latham's story is incredibly inspirational to all. She was a chemistry major and began her career in corporate America. After a few short years, she had kids and became a full-time mom. 

After 18 years out of work, Carol came back to Corporate America with more motivation than before. However, she quickly realized a glass ceiling above her. Her company would not take her seriously and discourage her from new ideas and projects. (Something we still see to this day)

Carol decided to take her new ideas and projects into her own hands. Eventually starting a company called Thermagon Inc which made high-thermal conductivity materials, used to cool chips in computers and other electronic systems.

The road was long and full of obstacles, but Carol pushed passed every barrier in her way. We have a part 2 coming next week to hear how Carol turned her small startup, into a multi-million dollar business.

Thanks for listening! Check out part 2 of Carol's story right after this!
