After working in the beauty industry for 15 years at companies like Lorac Cosmetics, ORLY, and The Estée Lauder Companies, Elyse Conroy realized that for many women, confidence washed off with their makeup. While she had always aimed to help women feel more confident through beauty, she came to see makeup as just a tool, not the solution. True, lasting confidence had to come from within. ✨
Confidence Mastery: Insights from a Confidence Coach 💪
Now, as a confidence coach and career advocate for high-achieving women, Elyse helps others build that inner foundation. In these clips, she discusses embracing failure as a growth strategy and how every “no” is simply redirection, not a reflection of personal inadequacy.
Elyse also discusses the importance of 👭 female mentorship, especially given the unique challenges women face climbing the corporate ladder. With fewer women in leadership roles compared to men, a scarcity mindset can take hold; the fear that opportunities are limited and helping other women might threaten one’s own position. Elyse emphasizes that this belief is both learned and untrue, and that shifting this mindset is essential to fostering a healthy work culture and mutual career support among women. 🤝
