Personal impact and reputation
Personal impact is the impression you make and leave with someone. This is based on how you present yourself: appearance, how you shake hands, your introduction, the language you use, your listening skills, your energy levels, your reading of a situation, your authenticity, your openness, your knowledge, being on time for your meetings, and so much more.
Abilities and capabilities
Ability and capability are two sides of the same coin; ability refers to your current abilities with capability being your potential. More often than not women do not recognise the extent of their own abilities, even when they have demonstrated and executed on them. Can you imagine being confident and open about your experience and knowledge?
Career planning and execution
There was a time when women were expected and the majority did work in the 5 ‘Cs’: caring, cashiering, cleaning, catering and clerical. That is changing, we have greater options, the internet broke down borders, technology allows us to work side-by-side and in real-time with colleagues, peers, suppliers, clients, coaches etc even when located in separate locations.
