About the event
Many of us unknowingly stand in our own way. In this session, we'll uncover how fear of success, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, and maybe some other things influence our career decisions. We'll explore how each of these hold us back from pursuing what we really want and building confidence for chasing that next opportunity.
About the Speaker
Dede O'Donnell is a certified leadership coach with an emphasis on transitions. After having a great career in HR starting as an Assistant and ending as a Sr. Vice President, she made her own career transition. Dede thought about her passions, went back to school, and is now the Founder and Executive Coach of Rodeo Enterprises. Dede also does pro bono coaching. She says, “I love what I do.”
Dede believes in focusing on what we have, not what we don't, and looking ahead not behind. She believes if you're depressed, you're living in the past. If you're anxious, you're living in the future. If you're at peace, you're living in the present.
