Presentations
These are example talks for Catherine Lamb
So many of us aim for success in our careers whilst fearing failure. We think we have to be an expert before we can consider ourselves to be good at something.
This kind of thinking can leave us feeling stuck with a job we’re good at rather than enjoy. Yet our anxiety about feeling incompetent often stops us switching to a new career we’d really love because we fear failure.
This talk is aimed at professionals who want to change careers but can't work out what they want to do instead. The talk focuses on how to work out what you’re good at and what you’d enjoy and how to explore new career options without jeopardising your current job.
The talk can be amended to suit the needs of the audience but takeaways include:
- Recognising your strengths
- Understanding what motivates you
- Trying a new career with zero risk
- Feeling confident
- Developing an action plan

The talk can be amended to suit the needs of the audience but takeaways include:
- Deciding what kind of leader you want to be
- Inauthentic vs unfamiliar
- Clever “accelerator” questions
- Spotting and modifying unhelpful behaviours
- Selecting unofficial mentors
