Rebecca speaks to Stef Sword-Williams, founder and author of F*ck Being Humble, the incredible platform and career bible helping people be unapologetically proud of their achievements and overcome the fear of self-promotion. In Stef’s own words, “‘F*ck Being Humble’ is a mindset to adopt to make sure you never miss out on an opportunity because you were too modest”.

Stef saw a lack of representation in the creative industries during her advertising career and decided she didn’t want to sell people things they don’t need anymore, so she made it her mission to celebrate amazing talent. Her motivational talks and workshops help individuals to know their worth and feel empowered in their professional development.

Since starting F*ck Being Humble in 2018, becoming a worldwide public speaker and hosting radio shows, podcasts and endless events, Stef has been named one of Forbes’ 30 under 30, delivered a TEDx Talk and partnered with global brands from Google to Warner Music, Kerastase to NatWest and Estee Lauder.

Stef has also founded the community platform This Might Help, providing peer-to-peer support for everyday carers, who are helping people in their lives experiencing mental health challenges, trauma and sexual assault. 👥

With more people like Stef leading the way, we could have a chance of changing this notion that we should be embarrassed to shout about the awesome things we achieve.
