Show Notes
In this episode of 404: Women Not Found, Dr Vanessa Vallely OBE is joined by Sandie Small Duberry and Debbie Forster MBE to explore one of the biggest barriers women face throughout their careers, confidence.
Drawing on themes from the chapter Let's Talk About Confidence, the conversation challenges many of the assumptions we make about confidence and imposter syndrome. Debbie explains why she believes the phrase imposter syndrome places the blame in the wrong place, while Sandie shares practical advice on owning your voice, embracing difference and speaking up with confidence, even when you're the only one in the room.
Together, they discuss self-belief, workplace culture, representation and why confidence isn't about becoming someone else, it's about recognising that you already belong.
Topics covered Confidence in the workplace Imposter syndrome or imposter moments? Finding your voice Being the only woman in the room Speaking up with confidence Self-belief Representation and belonging Building confidence throughout your career
