Creating Badass Women!? Oxi-moron or Major need?

Featuring Sarah Dale

Sarah Dale, founder of Project 1490, discusses the importance of confidence building for women and how outdoor experiences can help in this process. She highlights the research that shows confidence is a bigger factor for success than competency and explains that women tend to have less confidence than their male counterparts. Sarah shares her own experiences and the impact of getting outside of her comfort zone. She emphasizes the need for women to intentionally build confidence and offers three key strategies: getting out of your comfort zone, surrounding yourself with confident women, and helping other women.

Your gut already knows. Your words will catch up.

Most people do not have a direction problem. They have a trust problem.

They know what they want. They just do not trust that knowing enough to act on it.

Monique's Three Words Worksheet is a simple but powerful framework to help you name what you stand for, filter every decision through it, and stop second-guessing yourself.

This is not about doing more. It is about finally trusting what you already know.
