Latest Episode
WISE Webinar Series Episode 3 Featuring Dr. Brenda Jamnik
Duration: 50 minutes
Dr. Brenda Jamnik takes the stage in Episode 3 of the WISE Webinar Series with a powerful session titled “Empowerment: How It Is As Much About Self As It Is A Leadership Skill.”
In this thought-provoking session, Dr. Brenda explores the true meaning of empowerment, not just as something we extend to others, but as something we must first cultivate within ourselves. Drawing on the principle that empowerment begins with self-trust, confidence and the ability to make intentional life choices, she highlights how internal alignment shapes external leadership.
Through reflective insights, she unpacks the idea that many individuals experience self-denied change, often held back by doubt, fear or imposter syndrome. This session challenges participants to recognise those patterns, strengthen their self-belief and step into their capacity to lead with clarity and authenticity.
