ACCELERATING ACTION FOR WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP

In line with this year’s International Women’s Day theme to “Accelerate Action,” Gosia Syta works with organisations to fast-track women’s advancement into leadership, decision-making, and entrepreneurial roles.

IMMEDIATE TAKEAWAYS

If you’re looking for a quick taste of Gosia’s approach, here are some mini-strategies you can use right away:

1. The 3-Second Rule: Don’t wait until you “feel ready” to speak. Jump in, even if it’s to acknowledge the question and structure your thoughts out loud.

2. Own Your Achievements: Practice framing your successes in terms of tangible results—this helps others see the direct value you bring to the table.

3. Leverage Nonverbal Power: Maintain open posture, use purposeful gestures, and control your voice’s pace and volume to project authority.
