SUMMARY:Confidence-enabling environments: the business case
DESCRIPTION:With Ana Indoitu\, Director of People\, Operations & Growth \nConventional wisdom puts the responsibility of confidence building on the individual: improve your mindset\, practice your pitch\, repeat positive affirmations and avoid panic. Yet even the most capable people struggle to contribute when the environment is unclear\, punitive or dismissive. A seed can have all the potential in the world; it still will not thrive in barren soil. \nThis workshop builds of my professional journey as an enabler – shifting the question from “How can people become more confident?” to “What are we doing as organisations – intentionally or accidentally – to make confidence possible?” \nWe will explore how leaders and organisations can create the “fertile soil” for people to speak up\, take healthy risks\, learn from mistakes and bring innovation to work. Because confidence is not only an individual trait – it is also a reflection of the conditions we build around people. \nAnd when those conditions are right\, confidence stops being a motivational slogan and becomes a competitive advantage. \nWhat to expect: \nThe answers to the following 3 questions: \n\nWhy confidence matters to organisations?\nWhat makes a culture confidence-enabling?\nHow to enable confidence for individuals and teams?\n\nBiography \nWith a background in law and development management\, Ana shares 9+ years in leadership roles. She is a founder and manager of companies from their initial growth stage to scaling up across software\, hardware development and development industries. Ana is a hands-on professional\, with experience in building the HR function and team. With expertise in talent management\, employee engagement\, performance optimization\, and organizational development\, Ana has successfully contributed to the growth of several organizations. Ana is passionate about aligning talent practices with business objectives\, optimizing talent acquisition\, and shaping workplace culture that supports innovation\, collaboration\, and long-term success.
