If that involves creating a second personality then so be it (FYI Betty Bold is already taken). Channel the side that knows what they want and how they’re going to get it. the part that isn’t riddled with anxiety and fear.

So what did Beyoncé have to do with Alicia’s talk you ask? Well even the superstar gets nervous in her line of work, so much so that she invented an alter ego – Sasha Fierce – to give her the confidence to go on stage and rock the joint.

Seasoned networkers and community builders themselves, there was no one better to teach the WTF-ers how to talk the talk and walk the walk.įirst up, Alicia took to the stage and introduced us to a friend who’d helped her conquer her fears of putting herself out there: Beyoncé. We invited two exceptional speakers to give presentations: Alicia Teagle co-founder of Socially Responsible Recruitment (SR2) and founder of the Women Rock blog and Samantha Hepburn, community consultant and founder of Circle Community and Find a Tech Job.
Held at the expansive Just Eat head office, we welcomed a whole range of people ready to build confidence, learn how to network and then, actually network. Last month we hosted our third and biggest WTF (Women’s Tech Focus) event.
