Description
Feeling undervalued and frustrated despite your hard work in a male-dominated environment? You’re not alone. Many talented women end up leaving the industry and the job they once loved (and studied hard for) because it demands too much struggle to prove their value and does not offer them enough growth and opportunities. In The 5 Keys to Your Potential, Christina Brugger shares science-backed insights and proven approaches for building authentic confidence and achieving success as a woman in male-dominated spaces. Understanding the science behind the 5 keys – confidence, resilience, power, authenticity and care – puts you in control. By uncovering why being undervalued and overlooked happens in the first place, you can free yourself from self-blame and make changes that last – without having to wait for your company to catch up! As a chartered engineer and senior product leader with over a decade of experience in manufacturing, engineering and technology, Christina Brugger deeply understands the challenges women face in male-dominated industries. Her Keys to Impact Academy helps women maximise their impact and advance in their career.
