What happens when you’re the expert in the room… but every single question is directed to the man sitting next to you?
That’s exactly what happened to Padmasini Dayananda, a multi-award-winning woman in tech ranked #4 in the Top 10 Diverse Leaders in UK Tech. In this conversation on Rooted in Your Confidence, Padma shares how she stopped a sales meeting in its tracks, reclaimed her authority, and turned the deal around.
We dive into:
✨ How “good intentions” can become baggage that leads to burnout
✨ The sales meeting moment that shifted everything
✨ Why women disappear at the mid-level in male-dominated industries
✨ Language shifts that instantly change how you’re heard
✨ What it truly means to put yourself first without guilt
This episode is a reminder that your visibility, value, and voice are not up for debate. If you’ve ever felt invisible in a room where you belonged, this story will inspire you to take your voice back — and keep it.
