🤗 In September 2024 I ran a workshop for the Women@ Hyatt Switzerland chapter on the topic of 'Fake it, till you make it'. This group wanted to equip their female team member with the skills and tools to build their confidence.
🧐 Inspired by the teaching of Amy Cuddy, I engaged with the attendees some role playing exercises where we could put into practise some of the non-verbal tools to help 'trick' our brain into feeling confident.
🤩 We also tried power posing. I remember the firsttime I did this was when I was at a speaker training and recall the instant boost of energy I felt after holding this pose for 2 mins. It works!
😀 Often something as simple as putting a smile on your face can change the entire interaction. Smiling is a foundation that is hospitality and service is built on.
❤️ We finished with some feedback practise where we share what we appreciated about our colleagues. Women in particular are not exercising this skill set often enough. It can be as simple as that green dress you wore really suits you to you delivered a fantastic presentation to our clients, Let's make a habit out of saying nice things to each other #womensupportingwomen
🙏 I want to thank the team at Hyatt for creating this apace, Gigi, Alessandra, Sonja, Mariya
To bring your teammembers together and support each other on this journey to confidence, to know
you are not alone.

- I recently attended a women’s diversity training and we were only two men in the room. It was an incredibly eye-opening experience. The session not only highlighted the challenges women face in the workplace but also made me realize how important it is for men to be part of the conversation. Understanding the unique perspectives and barriers women encounter can help all of us contribute to a more inclusive, supportive environment. This training is something every man should experience, as it benefits everyone by creating a stronger, more equitable workforce. - Fernando
- Sit for 2 hours with your colleagues in a room and candidly open on just 'doing it', it's magical - Guillemette
