SUMMARY:The WICT Network: From Apology to Authority Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Complimentary Webinar — exclusively for The WICT Network Executive Members  \nHave you ever wondered why some of the most accomplished people you know — and that probably includes yourself — sometimes self-sabotage? Research shows that about 70% of professionals have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. It’s especially common in high-pressure or competitive environments\, where feelings of not belonging or not being capable can persist despite clear evidence of competence and success. \nSelf-defeating beliefs\, perfectionism and the tendency to over-apologize can hold talented individuals back from realizing their full potential. But it doesn’t have to be that way. \nIn this interactive webinar\, award-winning keynote speaker and C-Suite executive Shira Miller shares a powerful framework for shifting from apology to authority. You’ll walk away with actionable tools to conquer self-doubt\, eliminate self-sabotage and fully own your strengths. \nParticipants will learn: \n\nWhy self-doubt has you stuck — and what to do about it\nHow to remove internal obstacles and limiting beliefs\n5 ways to break the cycle of unnecessary apology-speak\nA quick confidence-building exercise\nPractical tips for owning your greatness\n\nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Global: Beyond the Hashtag: #HispanicHeritageMonth Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Across media\, entertainment and technology\, Hispanic leaders are making significant impacts that reflect the complexity\, creativity and diversity of their communities. As content creation and innovation converge\, their influence is redefining representation on screen\, behind the scenes and across digital platforms. \nIn this powerful conversation\, we will explore how Hispanic leaders are shaping the cultural narrative by challenging stereotypes\, driving inclusion and leading with authenticity. From streaming giants to media and programming leaders\, their voices are helping to build a more equitable and compelling future for all. \nWhether you’re a content provider\, technologist\, executive or advocate\, this session will offer inspiration and practical insights on how Hispanic voices are making their mark\, and why it matters. \nThis virtual session is part of The WICT Network’s #BeyondTheHashtag Series.

SUMMARY:Global Webinar: Be Your Own Ally
DESCRIPTION:Be Your Own Ally: Why Showing Up for You First Matters\nThursday\, February 5 | Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern) \nWEBINAR SPEAKERS:\nEric Spencer\, COO\, SkyeTeam & Ruby Vesely\, CSO\, SkyeTeam \nBased on the book You\, Me\, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work (and How to Show Up As One!)\, this interactive session will explore the five practices of an Ally Mindset: Abundance & Generosity\, Connection & Compassion\, Courage & Vulnerability\, Candor & Debate\, and Action & Accountability.

SUMMARY:Global Webinar: Be the CEO of Your Career
DESCRIPTION:Be the CEO of Your Career\n\nWednesday\, March 4 | Time: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm (Eastern)\nWEBINAR SPEAKER:\nKaren Kunkel Young\, Executive Leadership and Career Coach \nMost professionals were taught how to follow a career path. Very few were taught how to actively lead one. \nIn an industry shaped by constant change and consolidation\, waiting for clarity is no longer enough. This session invites WICT members to step into the CEO role of their own careers and make intentional decisions about visibility\, influence and direction. \nDrawing on over 25 years in senior leadership and her work coaching leaders across industries\, Karen introduces a practical framework for leading a career with clarity\, agency\, and strategic intent. Participants will learn how to communicate their value with confidence\, navigate transitions without losing momentum\, and design opportunities rather than react to change. \nParticipants will leave with: \n\nA stronger identity as the CEO of their own career.\nClear language to communicate their value with confidence and influence.\nA practical framework for navigating transitions and pivots.\nTools to make strategic career decisions instead of reactive ones.\n\nClick here to register.
