We all have that nagging voice in the back of our head, especially when it comes to work - “Should I have said that? I’m not qualified for that senior job opportunity. Am I living up to expectations?” Not to mention the stress of 2020 - whether it’s working remotely, becoming a teacher in addition to mom, navigating a layoff or team changes - certainly isn’t helping our self-confidence.
The research shows that we, as women, are our own worst critics. Does this ring true for you? We tend to hold ourselves to higher standards than others do. We over analyze conversations we’ve had, wishing we had shown up or spoken in a different way. This internal chatter forces us to not show up as our full, best selves. Why not change that? Why not look at ourselves, and how we show up to the world, differently, by rebelling against the way we’ve been taught to?
But - how?
The Rebel Women have invited Velera Wilson, successful marketer, speaker and career coach, to a candid conversation about shifting from insecurity to confidence. For many years, Velera struggled with self-doubt, and it impacted her career and relationships until she decided her future demanded she address it. Now she’s committed to helping other women do the same and recently authored "You're Absolutely Worth It: Release Self-Doubt, Embrace Confidence, and Own Your Yes” to share her personal learnings.
Come ready on October 28th to ask questions and share your own life lessons in this interactive discussion. As an added bonus - we will be giving away copies of Velera’s book to a few lucky attendees!
Having spent over a decade generating millions in revenue leading marketing strategy
for global Fortune 100 and 500 brands, Velera knows the power of owning your unique talents to succeed.
However her beginning was far from ideal – born to a single teen mother, being the first to graduate college, and experiencing devastating childhood trauma left Velera questioning her identity and value for many years. She had to fight to recognize and confidently command her worth.
Now as the founder of Positive Identity, Velera teaches ambitious women how to breakthrough limiting mindsets to confidently
pursue their dreams - regardless of where they’ve come from.
From being a contributing writer for Thrive Global, to being named a Money 20/20 USA Rise Up Woman for her leadership, to publishing guides including “Six Steps to
Negotiate the Salary You Deserve Without Letting Fear Override,” and “Four Tips to Nail Your Next Interview,” Velera shows women
how to own their worth.
She has an undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California and an MBA from Wayne State University.
Her book "You're Absolutely Worth It" will be released Fall 2020.
