HOW THIS WORKSHOP WILL TRANSFORM YOUR CAREER
When you lack confidence...
You struggle to speak up and share your ideas in meetings and when challenged.
You're constantly second-guessing yourself and struggle to take action.
You undermine your expertise with weak language (i.e. "Can I ask what might be a question?)", qualifiers (words like 'just'), and unnecessarily apologizing.
You seek constant direction and external validation as a temporary confidence boost.
You say "yes" to everything, and as a result struggle with overwhelm, overwork and delegation.
When your confidence takes a hit, you have a hard time recovering.
You are undervalued and underpaid, but don't ask for that raise you deserve.
When you're confident...
Speaking up comes naturally and without a second thought.
You are able to make decisions and complete your work without agonizing over them.
You are able to make decisions and complete your work without agonizing over them.
You communicate clearly and concisely, in a way that gains the respect of your co-workers.
You know how to access your inner confidence and be resilient, regardless of your outer circumstances.
You set clear boundaries, and can show up at work with less stress and easily prioritize your work.
You know you are good at your job and worthy of getting paid what you're worth, so you ask for that raise.

4. Will my firm pay for this workshop?
While we can't guarantee it, organizations have paid for this workshop in the past.
The first version of this workshop was designed as a customized 3-part series at a Fortune 500 organization's request (our Instructor had to sign an NDA and can't share that firm's name!) to help their women engineers and technologists speak up for themselves in career conversations with their managers. The organization paid for employees to participate. If you need a one-pager/same email to send to your manager to get funding for your attendance, email us at stephanie@engineersrising.com to receive those scripts.
A second option (if there are 6 or more in your firm interested in attending), is for us to bring this workshop to your organization. Contact stephanie (stephanie@engineersrising.com) for pricing and availability.
5. Will you be offering this workshop again in the future?
This is the first public offering of this workshop (it has been run in the past into women's employee groups within organizations). We have no immediate plans to offer it again, and can say with certainty it will not be offered again in 2023. Future workshops of this type (if any) will depend on demand.
