Ishwariya Rajamohan FRSA is an inspiring and empowering speaker who creates a safe space for frank discussions on the topic of confidence in leadership: something that is not easy for women to reveal when working in male-dominated environments, owing to the immense pressure they face to ‘look the part’.
Through her workshops and talks she encourages women to take up space, rather than retreat when their leadership is called into question. She reminds them of the inherent value they bring through their expertise and lived experience as leaders, and helps them build the crucial soft skills they need to excel in their roles.
Ishwariya's strength as a speaker and educator lies in her ability to break down those intangible soft skills into practical frameworks and concrete action steps that women can instantly apply in their day to day, improving how they present, communicate, execute and embody their leadership.
Clients: Ishwariya has delivered workshops and talks in the UK, Sweden, USA, and Canada for corporates, small to medium businesses (SMEs), non profits, as well as public sector organisations and institutions. Organisers and previous participants have both appreciated the safe space Ishwariya creates in her sessions and for giving voice to women's lived experiences that they would otherwise not have the psychological safety to share.
Delivery: Both in person and online. Travel charges will apply for in-person sessions.

"Hearing about how many women all suffer from the same lack of confidence, people pleasing and imposter syndrome was strangely comforting. I felt empowered, as I'm sure many women attending did, to overcome this and be more mindful of my accomplishments. Thank you Ishoo." - Participant, Rider Levett Bucknall webinar, March 2026
"The insights shared during the webinar underline the importance of creating spaces where women in STEM can reflect on confidence openly, without judgement, and with support." - Alice Bo-Wen Chang, Friends of Equate Network webinar, Equate Scotland, January 2026
