I'm Maria Lamia Bourechache, founder of Quwa Bootcamps.
At the beginning of 2023, I was offered the position of Managing Director in an EdTech start-up that I had co-founded 4 years prior.
My operational performance was top-notch and I felt confident as a leader, but I was terrified of speaking in public and not being up to the job of representing the start-up, especially at conferences and in the media.
