WEBINAR – Designed for Her: Confidence vs. Environment

She’s talented. She knows her stuff. But she’s quiet in meetings, hesitant to advocate for herself, reluctant to raise her hand for the bigger opportunity.

The organization’s diagnosis: a confidence problem. The prescription: a workshop, a coach, a leadership development program designed to help her show up differently.

The actual problem: the environment.

When the system consistently interrupts, overlooks, second-guesses, and under-credits women — it produces exactly the behavior organizations then diagnose as a personal growth gap. The response to that gap sends the message that she’s the thing that needs fixing. She’s not.

In Episode 4 of Designed for Her, Megan from IAW and Jessica from Project More Happy draw the line between what looks like a confidence issue and what is actually a design failure — and why getting that distinction wrong is costing organizations the talent they’re trying to develop.
