In today’s episode, I talk with Nicole Kalil, an author, leadership strategist, respected coach, and host of “This Is Woman’s Work” podcast. Nicole is passionate about redefining women’s work, and coaching women in business on what is and isn’t serving women and leaders within organizations.
Today’s episode discusses what confidence actually is, the ways it differs from what society has led women to believe it is, and how to combat harmful mindsets and behaviors that derail women from building that true confidence from within.
Some top tips …
Recognize that true confidence is essentially just trusting yourself and that it is internal. Confidence is not a feeling you get through external sources (ie. compliments) but a conscious choice that you make. It’s not “fake it till you make it,” but “choose it till you become it.”
Some examples of mindsets and behaviors that can derail you from building true confidence from within are being too judgemental and comparing yourself to others, listening to head-trash, trying to achieve constant perfection, overthinking, and seeking external validation.
To combat these derailers, it’s important to take action, not feeling intimidated by failure, utilizing positive affirmations during moments of doubt, and not overcommitting but still holding yourself accountable to the commitments you do make.
