Scottish Parliament Women’s Network are partnering with Leidos UK Women’s Network and WES (Women’s Enterprise Scotland) for a virtual evening event on 27 April 2021 from 5pm to 6:30pm with Dr. Suzanne Doyle-Morris who will deliver a presentation highlighting the vital differences between confidence and competence. Facilitating a panel of four, Dr. Doyle-Morris, author and proud WES ambassador, will discuss how the two words, and our expectations for each, have often been confused and misinterpreted in the workplace, as discussed in ‘The Con Job’.

It misses genuine competence, conveniently rewards the status quo and distracts us from understanding the context of what really drives confidence. This means we fail to get the right people into the best jobs. She shares strategies covered in ‘The Con Job’, to help audiences:
