On Uncopyable Women in Business episode 174, Jane opens up about what drives her work — and why “her success does not threaten mine” is more than a mantra. She talks about vulnerability in a 600-student lecture, how to build trust, and why apologizing less (especially retiring the “S-word”) is part of owning your voice. The conversation also touches on introversion in sales, boundary-setting, and the real payoff of long-term self-advocacy.

In her TEDxUCincinnati talk, Dr. Jane Sojka explores why few women negotiate their first jobs compared to men — and how skills like resilience and self-advocacy can be taught. Drawing on her decade of teaching at the University of Cincinnati, she explains how her students develop courage, refuse to underestimate themselves, and ask for what they deserve. Her message: building confidence in women ultimately benefits not just them, but institutions, organizations, and society at large.
