Confidence is a Work in Progress | San Francisco
About this event
How did Melissa Andrada go from being a shy intern who never said a word during meetings to a COO pitching in front of the UK’s top VCs and helping raise £1.2 million?
Melissa will share her own personal journey of transformation as a queer woman of color in tech. She’ll be real with you, sharing the lows and highs of her confidence journey — from getting hard-to-hear feedback from a VC to winning over the hearts of executive-level talent leaders.
No matter your seniority, experience or privilege, no one feels confident 100% of the time. Confidence is always a work in progress.
Melissa would love to help you on your journey. She’ll share memorable stories, practical learnings, and tools to grow confidence in yourself and your community.
She believes you learn best by doing and sharing. This is an interactive talk where she’d love for you to bring your whole and deepest self. Melissa is a believer in out-and-proud vulnerability. This session is a unique blend of quiet introspection, partner discussion and group sharing.
