Why we exist
75% of women experience Imposter Syndrome
Despite progress in gender equality globally, women still face many internal and external barriers in the workplace. From diminished confidence and Imposter Syndrome, to a lack of role models in leadership positions, the high costs of childcare and more social and economic factors.
These barriers are hard to overcome. But it is possible.
At The Women’s Vault, we exist to be a driving force for gender equality, empowering women to find confidence, overcome Imposter Syndrome and lead happier, more fulfilled lives.
We support women at an organisational and individual level with keynote speeches, coaching, courses and diversity and inclusion strategies.

Get to know me...
Hello, I’m Olivia Bath, Founder of The Women’s Vault, and I work with women individually and businesses to improve women’s confidence, including overcoming internal and external barriers.
Imposter Syndrome – a condition developed in childhood – is often exacerbated by workplace culture and living and working in a gendered society and results in women not fulfilling their potential, and other issues such as overwork and burnout. According to a McKinsey report on women in the workplace, 42% of women experience burnout and it is the primary reason for women planning to quit (or have already) their job.
I’m passionate about helping women individually and groups of women in workplaces to overcome Imposter Syndrome and therefore, reduce the propensity of workplace burnout, which costs UK companies £700 million annually in lost productivity.
The women I work with globally in industries such as finance, law, healthcare, marketing and mining/infrastructure are happier, have more balance and finally feel confident, benefitting themselves, their families, communities and organisations.
Before founding The Women’s Vault, I was an Executive Communications Advisor for 15 years in the banking and finance industry and suffered from both burnout (many times over) and Imposter Syndrome. Today, I still advise Executives in healthcare and finance.
I bring a unique approach to my clients with a background in employee engagement, change management and as a qualified coach and trainer. If you are interested in my services, including my speech with complementary online course for women in your organisation, please get in touch for a chat and free quote. Or if you’re an individual looking for coaching, head to the coaching page.

I recently shared an image on my Stories of writing my Imposter Syndrome script - cut up in lots of pieces and hand-scribbled notes everywhere.
According to one of Barack Obama’s speechwriters, they used to cut up and move around sections of his script until the structure was right. I was following the same process and it was liberating.
If you’ve got an upcoming speech or presentation, here are a few quick tips:
1. Start with your script, not your slides. Get clear on what you want to say first.
2. Know your message. What is the one message you want the audience to know/be left with. Get clear on this message as you are writing this script. Going for a walk helps too.
3. Spend the least amount of time on slides possible, rehearse instead.
4. Record yourself and watch it back. Yes it’s uncomfortable and at times painful, but you will learn A LOT.
Do you have other tips to add? What do you do to prepare for presentations?

You see something, your imposter is triggered and along comes a big and almost traumatic dose of comparisonitis. Ugh.
Save these tips for when you next feel triggered comparing yourself to another.
No comparison. You are already perfect.

Are you making these mistakes too when negotiating flexibility?
1. Not doing the right preparation ahead of your meeting. As I recently shared in an interview with The Telegraph`s Body & Soul magazine (link in bio), you`re not asking for a holiday.
Here`s the excerpt: “Remember that negotiating flexibility is effectively negotiating the terms of your contract — it’s not asking for a holiday — and so it does require some pre-conversation preparation,”
2. Doing your preparation for your conversation the night before. You may need to prepare a business case so allow for adequate time.
3. Not knowing if anyone else in your company or department does flexible working. Do you have proof? Industry sources help too.
4. Explaining how it benefits you, and not being able to articulate how it will benefit your company. Remember you`re going for a win:win here where both parties benefit.
5. Not articulating what flexible work you`d like to do clearly. So often I`ll meet with clients and their request has become complex and confusing. Keep it simple!
If you`ve negotiated flexibility, what would you add? Share your tips below ⬇️

Life as a working mother is so intense. The juggle... it couldn`t be more real. But do you know, the gift to create the balance you need comes from within.
And it happens when you create boundaries.
At work and at home. Boundaries. To put yourself first. So that you can be the best version of yourself both at work and at home. Because a tired Mum reaching the edge of burnout is actually no good to anyone.
Put yourself first.
If you need more help on managing the juggle, the Working Mum`s toolkit could be just what is needed. I created it. To help you. It now contains over 30 tools & resources to help you balance family, work and you. With confidence tips, boundary setting, imposter fighting, burnout prevention, weekly schedule setting, wind down routines, mum guilt and much more.
It`s only £37.
