    COMPETENT & CONFIDENT

    Why your Workplace May be Trying to Silence You (Part 2) Are you a strong, capable leader who's faced pushback and undermining in the workplace? Do you feel like your competence is seen as a threat rather than an asset? In Part 2 of this empowering conversation with Executive Coach Alicia Pieterse, we expose the hidden dynamics that can sabotage your confidence and competence. Discover how to navigate cultural nuances, address conflict with grace, and reclaim your power in any professional setting. Alicia and Mpeo dive into: • The "Strong Black Woman" Paradox: Unpack the frustrating reality that competent, confident Black women often face in the workplace, where their strengths are both sought after and rejected. • Navigating Cultural Minefields: Learn how cultural practices (like familial terms of address) can create unhealthy power dynamics • Decoding Power Trips: Recognise the signs of stonewalling, gaslighting, and undermining from those in positions of authority • Owning Your Worth: Discover how to establish yourself as an adult, rather than approaching leadership with fear • Breaking the "Yes Men" Cycle: Understand how a lack of honest feedback and political savviness can lead to organisational dysfunction. • Setting Boundaries with Cultural Respect: Find the balance between honouring cultural norms and maintaining professional boundaries • Conflict Resolution as a Superpower: Discover why conflict management is a crucial skill for thriving in any workplace • The Art of Active Listening: Master the underrated skill of truly listening to others, suspending your own opinions, and creating a safe space for open dialogue. • Turning Wounds into Wisdom: Process your emotions, find support, and transform toxic workplace experiences into opportunities for growth • Taking Action and Mobilising Change: Move beyond complaining and trauma bonding
