Talking Points
The Power of You
People underestimate what they are capable of doing. They're raised not to believe in their capabilities, which is shaped and reinforced by those around them, their circumstances and society's way of supressing ambition. They lack self-belief and are afraid of being a tall poppy so they try to fit into a mould that is expected of them.The Power of You
This talk is about making a choice to be brave, to reveal what you really want to be or do, and then the negotiations you need to make to be that person”even when those negotiations are frequently with yourself! Anne helps audiences understand the unlimited power of what each of us can do and achieve.
