Coaching Girls CEO Connection's Founder to Help Teen Girls Talk to Anybody | Sylvia Scott | Ep 1087

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"Entrepreneurship for women builds confidence, especially with teenage girls." - Sylvia Scott

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Sylvia Scott for a live coaching conversation. Sylvia founded the Girls CEO Connection, Girls Creating Enterprising Organizations, in 2009 to engage high school girls as entrepreneurs, with groups of girls in Boston, California and Colorado, and she's the ambassador for Women's Entrepreneurship Day Colorado, a conference where most of the audience is teenage girls. Now she's turning it into a membership that brings girls from every school and club together, so more of them learn they can talk to anybody.

You'll walk away with:
- Why building for the people who actually show up beats designing for hypothetical ones
- How the build itself can become the lesson
- Where confidence really comes from, for teenage girls and for you
