Our most recent guest on The Career Cocktail Podcast, Madeline Oldfield is someone who has taken opportunities and seen the benefit of doing so in a career at the forefront of technology and transformation. Hosts, Ella O'Connell and Andrew Bath were interested in where that confidence to say yes came from, and Madeline's advice was something we could all take a leaf from. Madeline explained how Imposter Syndrome is something that will likely always be there, but Madeline acknowledges it and then tells it be quiet. Then it is about changing mindsets, and asking if you have the confidence, after you've given something a go, rather than before.
