Women in BioPharma Leadership: 'Your Inner Critic'.
Last week I was kindly invited to speak by Cormis and Links Life Sciences at a Women in Biopharma Leadership event.
My first thought was: 'how exciting - this will be fun, I will learn something'. My second thought was definitely from my inner critic: 'why would anyone want to listen to me? I'm not perfect, I'm not sure I have anything valuable to say'.
But guess what - we all have something valuable to share from our own experiences, and you don't have to be perfect or the best to share your authentic experience of being you.
I connected with some wonderful women at the event, and learned so much from Viola Schnatzschneider about the research into the 'Inner Critic'.
Thank you to all of the attendees and specifically to Stephanie Plowright and Pippa Bourke – you did a marvellous job!
I also want to say a special thank you to my Coach Kate Flowerdew – without her invaluable support I would not have learned to appreciate and manage my ‘inner critic’.

Thank you so much for your insight and time Sian Abel, it was wonderful of you to be so open. I've talked with my son about this as he started his GCSE's today - some really useful insights and tips to share. See you soon
