\u201cDon\u2019t wait to be invited\u201d was the message of the day when a group of female undergraduates and postgraduates in the Faculty of Engineering and Design took part in a confidence building and career boosting workshop delivered by WISE trainer Vanessa Boone, Founder MD of Energise, on Wednesday 25th February 2015. The workshop was energetic, fast moving and fun with the students working on interactive tasks designed to boost self confidence and give them practical experience of being proactive about raising their profile. How to be confident when speaking in public and the importance of networking were all covered during the afternoon session alongside how to be assertive, interview techniques and self promotion without cringing. The event included the opportunity for the group to practise their new found skills as the afternoon concluded with refreshments and time to network. Those attending praised the \u201cenergetic and helpful speaker\u201d, and said they had found the event \u201cinspiring\u201d, \u201cgave me lots of confidence\u201d and that they would \u201cuse the tips to raise my profile\u201d, \u201cremind myself to be assertive\u201d, \u201c set personal goals\u201d and that \u201cfear is not real\u201d. This was the first training event organised by the WESBath student group.
