Take Up Space: Building Presence and Confidence in High-Stakes Moments

​The Boston Women in Bioinformatics is excited to reunite with Joanna Ghayad, executive career coach to STEM scientists, on Take Up Space | Building Presence and Confidence in High-Stakes Moments.

​You've been in this situation before.

You already have the expertise. But in the moments that matter most—a tough Q&A, a room full of senior stakeholders, a conversation where everything is on the line—it's easy to hesitate, over-qualify, or edit yourself out before you even begin.

This session is about changing that.

​In this workshop, you'll:

• ​Identify the self-editing habits that hold you back in high-pressure situations

• ​Practice presence and confidence techniques you can use immediately

• ​Learn the habits that develop between you and your stakeholders before the conversation even begins

​For early career and seasoned scientists alike who want to develop the confidence to tackle high-stakes scenarios.
