Workshop: 10:00am – 11:30am

Networking Session: 11:30am – 12:30pm

This interactive workshop helps participants understand what imposter syndrome really is, why it shows up, and most importantly, how to move through it with clarity and self-belief. This workshop is grounded in real start-up, leadership and coaching experience, and delivered through Sprout Coaching’s unique 7 Steps to Confidence framework - developed specifically to support ambitious business owners in regaining trust in themselves, their abilities, and their place at the table. This isn't about fake-it-til-you-make-it. It’s about building real, lasting confidence from the inside out.

Bianca from Sprout Coaching delivers this one of a kind session, combining her experience of working for several start-ups, growing her own business (benefitting greatly from the BIPC Start-up and Grow programme), person-centred leadership and coaching expertise.

This session will be followed by a networking opportunity, providing a chance to connect with other entrepreneurs and young business owners, share experiences, and build valuable relationships.  

This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund

About Bianca

Bianca is a leadership coach with over 20 years of experience in the tech industry and the founder of Sprout Coaching. She helps business owners and emerging leaders grow in confidence, clarity, and capability through the power of coaching.

Having lived both sides of the leadership challenge - as an employee who didn’t feel supported, and as a manager unsure how to truly empower her team - Bianca knows how hard it can be to lead well without the right tools. After training as a Transformational Coach, she brought those skills back into the workplace and saw first-hand how coaching helped her team step up, take ownership, and thrive - all while easing the pressure on her shoulders.

Now, she supports business owners and managers to lead with authenticity, develop strong team dynamics, and create sustainable success from the inside out.
