Happy International Women's Day 2022 to the over 3.9 Billion women of the face of the Earth.

This edition is dedicated to all the women (those hurting and those living in fulfilment). The world is a better place because of the contributions of the women.

Powerhouse Global Magazine is proud to be connected with so many women who are difference makers in the world.

When the leaders come together to create global opportunities for others, the world will also experience positive changes. As women are still working towards equal opportunity in the world, it's also important to keep the fire burning no matter the struggles. International women's Day celebration is indeed a special day to be grateful for the impact of women in the world.

We wish the women success on their endeavours.

Thank you for supporting our mission.

BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP

LUCIA HOXHA I was born in the valley surrounded by mountains in the stunning beauty of my beloved Slovakia, where my heart belongs 41 years ago to a family of loving parents and rather wonderful people as the youngest child.

I was always the one being in charge of my own life. I always achieved whatever I put mymindinto and if it wasn't happening, I just worked little bit harder and found the way to do so. Very successful, winning tennis competitions, shining on the stage, involved in various projects, hanging out with celebrities, being on TV - as a high achiever since my early formative years, I was used to winning in life... and then, in my early 30-th, for the first time - I started feeling like a failure... I was not able to conceive a child!

It was a first time when no matter how much I tried, it was just not happening. In fact, the more I pushed, the more painfully I failed. I was living an extremely busy life and felt exhausted after

ARE YOU TOO NICE

FOR YOUR OWN GOOD? How being too nice is bad for your career, relationships and health and what to do about it

— BY HELEN SNAPE You are a nice person. Caring, thoughtful, empathetic and kind. The world needs more people like you. But are you too nice for your own good?

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE TOO NICE? You get overlooked for the promotions. Your workload is increased whereas some of your colleagues seem to do very little. You never get a pay rise. And no one seems to hear what you have to say in meetings. You complain yet stay in toxic work environments.

In your relationships outside of work you may find you keep getting into unhealthy relationships, or staying in them too long. You find it hard to get your needs met. Although you

Why are Millennials so crucial to this story and Gen PI? With these sheer numbers, and work ethics, attitudes, and technical prowess, millennial preferences will dictate the world of work for years to come.

Here is one such stat that should give you pause, though.

According to WorkMarket, an ADP Company, 49% of millennials will quit their jobs within the next two years.

Millennials won't help cure the growing corporate memory gap by merely being on the job. What Millennials are bringing to the workplace are attitudes shaped by the digital revolution. The state of IT in most workplaces frustrates them because their technology is much more advanced and powerful. Due to the convergence of social, mobile, and cloud, they are used to sharing, transparency, and instantly connecting with people regardless of location.

They hold dissatisfaction with corporate systems and traditional hierarchies. They have a different outlook to the generations before them and far lower acceptance levels for the status quo. They are used to Apps that update automatically several times a year.

McKinsey Global Institute’s latest report assesses the number and types of jobs that might be created under different scenarios through 2030 and compares that to the jobs that could be lost to automation. Essentially new work opportunities will come but will likely need reskilling or just “killing” off job roles altogether.

HOW TO DEVELOP TRUE CONFIDENCE

DON’T FAKE IT! FACE IT! — BY ASH RAO Having high self-confidence is one of the most important traits for a happy and successful life.

When it comes to gaining confidence, we have all heard the advice “Fake it till you make it”.

The statement does have a ring of truth to it and I will be the first to admit that I have tried to fake confidence in the past whether it was a college project presentation, first job interview and many such challenging situations.

What I have noticed is that faking confidence works only in short term circumstances when you are either feeling low or having unjustified self-doubt.

If you are seeking long-term success, then faking confidence will not take you far. If you want to achieve something, it has come from your authentic self. You cannot fake success, you need to work, give it your all and make it happen!

Say for example, you are preparing for an important presentation and you are not a public speaker as your job does not normally require that skill. Content wise you know in your bones what you are doing, what you are going to offer to your audience. You have enough substance within you but simply lack the confidence to

30 MARCH 2022 | ISSUE # 34

express in front of people. In this case yes, you can fake your confidence you already are the subject matter expert and it may even work!

However, if you do believe that public speaking happens to be a much-needed critical skill that can accelerate your career, then this calls for you to develop true confidence. Faking will not help you to face your problem head on and without improving your skills, you will start to feel

They duck the spotlight, so it shines on others.

They freely ask for help.

They think, “Why not me?”

They don’t put down other people.

They aren’t afraid to look silly.

And they own their mistakes.

They only seek approval from the people who really matter.

Once you learn, emulate and internalize these qualities, you can take off the mask and glow with true inner confidence!

In addition to the list of qualities mentioned above, there are a few actions that you can take to develop sure fire confidence.

DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS AND COMPETENCE There is no shortcut to success.

Even though faking works on short term, you cannot succeed with just high self -esteem and charisma alone.

Once you learn, emulate and internalize these qualities, you can take off the mask and glow with true inner confidence!

You need to have enough substance within you that your style should not matter anymore.

If you are planning to master any skill, then you need to dive deep and learn as much as you can. Research, find mentors, network, ask lot of questions.

Get to know experts in your field, network and learn from them. Know your competitors if any. If you want to be truly confident at something, you cannot have just a passing knowledge. You have to step out of the amateur bubble. You need to practice hard and be so well versed that you could even teach about that subject!

As the saying goes “when one teaches, two learn”! Once you reach that level of mastery there would be no need to

confidence will follow!

FOCUS OUTWARD If you are a self-conscious person, then Faking Confidence can backfire and here is how.

Say you are not feeling confident at doing something that you are supposed to do, the advice that reigns on internet is follow the norm – “Fake it till you make It” Your friends and your network advice you the same. And so, you try to project a confident image, you put on a mask and try your best to hide your insecurities.

Now have you noticed how you feel when you are trying to be not yourself? It does not fit your personality to pretend and will make you all the more self- conscious. Faking it makes you focus even more on just yourself and ironically by doing so, you become more selfconscious and more nervous!

And less confident!

Powerful Global Women Foundation (Powerhouse Charity) was founded in 20l6 in Nigeria, West Africa,

by Lady Anita Duckworth-Bradshaw. The core objective of this organization is to transform the lives of women and children, through various projects centred around the need of the service group.

In 20l6 Lady Anita single handedly fed over 400 children as part of “project feed l000 children globally”, and held an empowerment conference for the women. Through this project, so many women have gone to do great things with the knowledge they gained from the event.

She recently held a life transforming event for women in Lagos, Nigeria as part of International women’s month celebration 20l8. The turnout was very encouraging. She is working towards supporting more families to keep their children and wards in school through” project back-to-school” starting in September 20l8.

We are seeking for global support from individuals and organisations who would love to be a part of this service to humanity.
