And Sarah Liu (right) is just the woman to tell you how. She does it for a living as founder of The Dream Collective, a platform that trains young women for leadership roles and has helped more than 1,500 people climb higher on the corporate ladder.

GO FOR THE JOB – EVEN IF YOU DON’T MEET ALL THE CRITERIA

Most women apply for a job only when they feel they’ve met 90 per cent of the criteria, according to trade publication Adweek. Not so for guys, who feel confident enough to go for it despite meeting only 60 per cent of the requirements.

The numbers get grimmer when it comes to leadership – fewer than two in 10 people who sit on boards in Singapore are women. What gives? Self-doubt, says Sarah.

To push women to dream big and take ownership of their careers – whether it involves a job, a new role in the company, or a promotion – The Dream Collective helps them map out a career plan, develop strong financial acumen and keep innovating, as well as maintaining their well-being while juggling work and family commitments.
