Why Confidence Comes from Self-Doubt, Vulnerability & Action - Not Feeling Ready.

Feeling like an imposter and still waiting for confidence to show up?

Join guest speaker Lauren Calder, Senior Transformation Consultant, as she shares how self-doubt, vulnerability, and feedback have helped shape her career this far, and why confidence doesn’t come before action, it comes because of it.

Through honest reflection and practical insight, you’ll be invited to rethink what confidence really means, and how to start building it, even before you feel it.

Confidence is built when you choose to act, even in the doubt. That choice is yours.

The tech talk will start at 5:30pm and run until 7pm. This is a joint event with the IRSE Scottish Section, and we'll have our own exclusive area for YRP & IRSE members only! It will be a valuable opportunity to network, collaborate, and enhance your personal development.

Are you interested in mentoring from experienced rail industry professionals?

We might just have what you are looking for. Following feedback from a #BeEnspired session on mentoring hosted last year, YRP East Midlands has been in communication with Helen Simpson (from Enspired Consulting) and the Derby Railway Engineering Society (DRES) who will be running a series of guided sessions whereby YRP members are partnered with DRES individuals to gain valuable career insights from highly knowledgeable and experienced railway professionals.

This is a great opportunity for career development within the rail industry and to understand the different avenues for career paths.
