Case Study
DAY ONE SAP shows how a large company can take a stand for “socially responsible” engagements and sustainable business. The creation of a new winning system can accelerate progress towards the achievement of the SDG by inspiring the next-generation of SDG advocates. Ann Rosenberg Senior Vice President UN Partnerships at SAP & Global Head of SAP Next-Gen
Screw the Apologies; How to lead with confidence •
•
•
Explore what confidence is, what it sounds like, and who it often sounds like. (Hint, there is a double standard for women and how their confidence is perceived). Examine the Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANT’s) and cognitive distortions (messed-up thinking styles) that can fuel our perfectionist tendencies. Discuss how destructive and delusional the pursuit of perfectionism is, and the consequences to both our confidence and careers (i.e. we tend to avoid and procrastinate thereby living in our safe zones, instead of taking risks). Explore strategies to move ourselves OUT of our damn comfort zones, increase our confidence and improve our communication skills.
