Today is International Women in Engineering Day.  So I decided to sit back and reflect upon the challenges facing female engineers in the workplace. I am currently running a variety of workshops including Inspirational Leadership, Coaching for Performance and Teaming workshops with Customers in the high tech and engineering business. Every day I hear about the challenges facing our female engineers in these workshops and I engage in discussions to help women to understand how to deal with their fears and worries in the world they face. There are 5 repetitive themes which appear in the workshops and we often end up having rich discussions around these topics.

We spoke to them about some of their findings and what this means for businesses.

I've been doing quite a lot of thinking about confidence over the last couple of days because I've been doing some coaching and the topic that comes up more than any other is confidence. It comes from all levels of organisations - from graduates to senior executives.  Is it any wonder that in a world of social media and constant messaging about what is desirable, beautiful and perfect, people are struggling to find their confidence?
