Impact Stories
Moreover, it has drawn my attention to the fact that the job market needs intelligent students with skills. Why am I saying this, having a skill attached to a career actually paves the way for individuals to fit in every organization he or she find himself or herself. So I have taken it upon myself to learn video and picture editing, and learn more about excel software.
It has also made it possible for me to interact with my colleagues in a very genuine way (one I thought I could never do). The network, though not very extensive, has served its purpose in my opinion because I have been able to check up on people I have never met in person and held profound conversations with them. I am very privileged to be a part of this growing community.
Before joining the SheLeads Academy, I didn’t have a clear sense of the career path I wanted to pursue. I felt confused and needed guidance. Enrolling in the Pathfinder program has not only provided me with a roadmap for choosing the right career, but it has also offered valuable insights into myself that I didn’t know existed.
I've been struggling with self-confidence and effective communication for some time. I used to find it challenging to confidently engage in conversations with other people, especially those outside my immediate circle. I rarely speak up during group discussions because I feel I might not be heard. I joined She Leads Academy a few months ago and this program is focused on building critical soft skills, which also includes building self-confidence. Through frequent meetings, I've been able to develop a lot of skills and I've also learnt a lot of very helpful tips which aren't easy to come by.
Now I can say that my confidence level has increased much more than before. She Leads Academy has helped me build my confidence level to a point where I never imagined myself to be. Inasmuch as I'm still a work in progress, I am very sure that by the end of this program, I'll be able to build my soft skills to a much higher level
- Also, getting the opportunity to join the Pathfinder program as part of the leadership has helped me gain a clear vision of the career path I want to pursue moving forward and how to set clear goals towards that career path. Being path of this program is one of the best decisions I have made in recent times.
One of the biggest things I’ve gained is confidence not fully, but is getting better. I now speak up more, share my thoughts. I have also picked up skills that go beyond the sessions like time management and emotional intelligence and they are really helping me become more focused and intentional with my time and energy. I’m excited to keep growing as I continue the journey.
