Join us for a WIT.Connect Evening Event on Thursday, January 15 to network with fellow WIT Members and hear from Julie Vida, VP of Growth with Odyssey Systems.

Facing your irrational fears to build confidence and bring your best to the world

Women face many barriers and challenges in our lives that impact us professionally and personally. In many cases, these are based in fear, which is frequently unwarranted and not real. We can be our own worst enemy, and tell ourselves lies and stories that prevent us from taking appropriate actions and risks, and that lead us to making decisions that are safe, known, and keep us from being the best version of ourselves. This session will expose several irrational fears, stories of others who have faced and overcome them, and offer a few quick tips and habits to remove the self-imposed barriers and unleash our best selves!
