Confidence isn’t just a mindset – it’s your secret weapon!
Join us at C4DI for an energising and insightful session led by award-winning tech founder and thought leader Christina Colmer McHugh, as we dive deep into what it really takes to show up, speak up, and scale up in 2025.
Best known as the inventor of Moodbeam, Christina turned a personal mission into a globally recognised wellbeing tech company – without a tech background, investment experience, or a clear roadmap. Now a successful investee and on her third tech startup, she knows what it takes to build, rebuild, and thrive as a founder in an ever-evolving landscape.
Her journey from journalist to startup leader is one of grit, growth, and bold belief – and in this session, she shares exactly how she built her confidence along the way.
Whether you’re at idea stage or already raising capital, confidence plays a key role in every pitch, partnership, and pivot. But let’s be real – the startup journey is a rollercoaster, and doubt can creep in fast. That’s where this session comes in.
You’ll learn:
– How to build unshakable founder confidence (even when you feel out of your depth)
– Tools to handle setbacks and imposter syndrome like a pro
– What it takes to own the room – from investor meetings to industry stages
– Real-world mindset hacks from someone who’s been there, done it, and worn the hoodie
This is not your average talk. Expect practical takeaways, raw honesty, and a few mic-drop moments.
