I work in the Vet School at University of Surrey; as Senior Technician in the Clinical Skills Lab. In the photo above, I'm demonstrating required PPE for a particular process (endoscope cleaning!)
I'm hoping that this session will provide tips and anecdotes on how to improve/gain confidence, for those who self-doubt & are easily knocked. I'd also love to hear on how best to embody confidence & empowerment, without veering over into territory of arrogance!

When trying to find a photo, I looked through what I had saved in my images on my work laptop and it turns out it was a lot of broken things! As a technician we work to complete so much (research support, training, organising etc) but I regularly find myself fixing or arranging repair of things!

Most of the time I feel like I am juggling flaming torches in extreme conditions and hoping I don't drop any :-S

My job is a team leader in the materials processing area - here we do both taught classes and research support mainly with high temperature (my specialty is glassmaking) - this is now being done with a bigger teaching load than ever before and less staff - ho hum

My expectations are to get handy tips to develop and improve my confidence currently at work so that I can minimise my self doubt (especially when it comes to dealing with the hierarchy of academia). It will be great to network with others in a similar situation to bounce ideas off. Hopefully I will be better equipped and feel more empowered to deal with awkward situations and people using skills from the session.

I’ve found being involved with Northern Power women incredible. A wonderful network of amazing people doing brilliant things generally and in support of equality professionally.
My biggest takeaway from the connection has been that there is always someone looking up. Even if you don’t think it or realise it, there is always someone we can be/will be giving inspiration to/ acting as a role model for.

It has helped me shift my focus from always feeling concerned I don’t know/do enough, to being more aware of what I do know and do that is valuable and allowing myself to share it with others. We are always a role model to someone. ❤️😋👍🏻
