Permission: How to unlock your Independence and Ambition with Shivani Gopal, Founder & CEO Elladex
By Freelancing Gems
When giving advice to friends, it’s so easy to say things like: “You’ve got this, “Just go for it," “You deserve better," and so forth.
Yet, when it comes to ourselves, have you noticed you often aren’t giving yourself the same pep talk?
You’re not alone. For a lot of us, it’s difficult to give ourselves permission to go for what we want and know we deserve it.
This hesitance to give ourselves permission is often deeply rooted in self-belief and the pesky imposter-syndrome creeping in.
But what if we actually started giving ourselves the same permission we so easily grant to others? Imagine what could be possible when we start giving ourselves permission.
These possibilities are what we will be diving into with Shivani Gopal, CEO and Founder of Elladex, a digital rolodex for women's personal, professional and financial growth, for the second instalment of our Powerful Women Series with Stella Insurance.
Shivani gave herself permission through her high school days, to leaving her marriage at a young age and launching her own businesses multiple times.
She is a passionate feminist, award winning entrepreneur and finance expert on a mission to create a more equal world.
Maybe you have heard Shivani before as a weekly panellist on ABC Radio’s “Money Matters” segment, the host for the Women’s Agenda podcast and also a media regular on shows such as Today Show and ABCs The Drum.
Shivani says “sometimes we seek permission from others on things that they’d never dare do themselves.”
Shivani’s mission in life is to “live a fully expressed life” and she is joining us to share her journey to inspire you to define your own.
Join us online to explore:
- How to embrace your independence and have the confidence to do what others would never
- Defining what a fully expressed life is to you
- Harnessing your ambition in life and business
