When you back yourself, everything changes. In this energising and heartfelt keynote, media personality and leadership coach, Carmen Braidwood, explores what happens when women start believing their own good press and stop letting self-doubt hold them back.

Through candid stories from her two decades in radio and television, Carmen reveals how learning to love your rough cut, bounce back from public ‘bloopers’, and lean on others (because everybody needs a co-host) can help you build the kind of self-trust that fuels bold moves and lasting success.

This session invites every woman to see that she has just as much chance as anybody to do that thing she’s been dreaming of.

Key Audience Takeaways: 

• Mindset Shift: You have just as much chance as anybody to do that thing you’ve dreamt of doing.
• Practical Tool: Start your own Good Press Folder.  A digital or physical collection of compliments, achievements, positive feedback and proud moments to revisit when self-doubt strikes.
• Reflection Practice: Learn to view your ‘bloopers’ as lessons, evidence of courage, not failure.
• Community Insight: Success is rarely a solo act; building ‘radical self-trust’ also means trusting your network and co-hosts along the way.
