I’ve given many talks about my career and how I manage to juggle being a mother, stepmother, entrepreneur and woman in business. But the thing people, mainly women, always want to discuss with me afterwards is self-doubt and how I cope with it. The advice I always give – jokingly – is: ‘If in doubt, wash your hair.’ This resonates with most women, as we all know that when you feel good about yourself, you stand taller, you look people in the eye and it makes a huge difference. Doubt is fascinating because I think most people have doubt but don’t believe others do. Everyone has doubt: it’s there on our shoulders to keep us safe and to make us better versions of ourselves.
