Show Quote: In fact, the Confidence of the people is worth more than money” Carter G. Woodson

In this episode, we explore confidence and in particular, why it can be so challenging for women leaders. Ms. Edna Howard joins us for the conversation. She shares how she executed her strategy of “see a need, fill a need” and how it led to the launch of her platform designed to uplift and empower women through Voices of Encouragement.

Here is a question for you. Are you living in the past, present or future? Return to this question as you listed to the discussion. Often when we dive into the topic of confidence for women and confidence for women leaders, a familiar theme emerges. Can you hear it? Listen in as we discuss:

· Why women often have a lack of self-confidence

· The role your past plays in your confidence level

· How confidence holds women back

· Are you living in a program? In the matrix?

· Strategies women can use to increase their confidence

· Strategies the confident woman can use to reduce stress

· Stress factors women and leaders are dealing with today

· And more!
