The Midlife Reinvention: How to Find Your Ikigai, Deal with Imposter Syndrome & Build Your Confidence in Career & Life Transitions

“Find the courage to face your fears, so you can develop the confidence to move forward"
Join Kavita Ahuja as she discusses the importance of building confidence, especially in midlife. From her own experience, and interviewing countless women who have faced adversities and challenges in their lives, she has discovered that the one common ingredient to their success is: Confidence. They have managed to move past those challenges to become even greater versions of themselves.
