    38. What Your Confidence Struggles Really Mean (Hint: It’s Good)

    Thinking of joining Confident at Work? It's my 3 month coaching and training programme where you will learn all you need to support yourself through times of lower confidence and learn how to create more of it! We close the doors on Monday 3 April, so get in there now. Either email me on hello@yesyoucoaching.com or book a free call to talk about joining here. When we struggle to feel as confident as we want doing something, we can assume it means all kinds of things about us. But what if it is just evidence that we are doing good human-ing? What if it's just evidence that we are engaged with life? That we are saying yes? That we are going out there and giving it a go despite our current level of skill or knowledge? Listen on to find out how feeling low on confidence might just be evidence that you're a perfect human. ⁠⁠Join our next Grow Your Professional Confidence Masterclass here.
