66. Mimicking Confidence v. Developing Authentic Confidence
Lots of work around confidence is actually aimed at helping you mask low confidence by mimicking confidence; wearing a power suit, speaking in the right kind of way, focusing on 'executive presence'. I am not up for helping you mask low confidence with presentation 'tricks'. I am here to help you look behind the mask, find out why you dont feel as confident as you deserve and work there to help you feel confidence v. look confident. Mimicking confidence keeps you stuck in a low confidence cycle and have you constantly having to 'mask' it. Developing authentic confidence requires a different approach and one which ultimately means you dont have to mimic confidence anymore; because you actually feel it inside. Listen on to find out how.

59. Grow Your Professional Confidence with Confident at Work
Do you want to feel more confident at work? Are you technically good at your job but find you privately lack the self-belief and confidence which should come with it? You've found the right place. Every client I worked with was good at their job, but they still didn't feel as confident as they wanted. And they didn't really understand why. After analysing data gathered over 100's of confidence coaching sessions; I saw the patterns. The data showed a particular set of habits and patterns when someone's confidence was lower and a particular set of habits and patterns of behaviour when when someones confidence was higher. I created the high and low confidence cycles as a visual summary - take a look here. In this episode I share how the work I do with clients actually helps them feel more confident and how the Confident at Work course has been built to help anyone identify the habits and patterns currently keeping them in a low confidence cycle, and teach them how to rewire your brain to change those habits and feel more confident at work.
