Networking Series: Resilience, Power & Self-Belief with Dannielle Haig

Resilience, Power & Self-Belief with Dannielle Haig

Discussions around confidence in the workplace often focus on personal growth, yet we rarely examine the personalities that shape the environments we must navigate.

Join us for the next in our Networking Series, and this time we are going to be joined by a guest speaker. So, not only will you have the chance to connect with colleagues across the district, you'll take away some top tips for your career, too. 

Dannielle Haig, a business psychologist and resilience specialist, has spent years studying resilient personality styles, particularly the Dark Triad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy). In this talk, she will explore how these traits operate under pressure, how they can appear as strength, and what they can teach us about boundaries, influence, decision-making, and emotional control.

She will also challenge the most popular confidence label of our time…“imposter syndrome.” Dannielle reframes self-doubt not as a syndrome, but as a rational signal, often driven by high standards, heightened awareness, and real-world dynamics that demand repeated proof of credibility.

This session will offer a research-backed approach to understanding workplace behaviour and strengthening your professional presence.

Held in the striking, theatrical setting of Smeg St James’s, connect, collaborate, and build new relationships with colleagues from across the HOLBA district. From retail and hospitality to culture, property, and professional services, you’ll be joining a diverse mix of sectors that together make up the unique fabric of the West End.
