In this episode, I want to shake up some old myths surrounding confidence, especially for fierce female leaders like you. So, let's break down some outdated advice and redefine what it truly means to step into your most authentic and confident self.
One common piece of advice we hear is "Just do it scared." While taking action is crucial, I believe in taking inspired action that feels aligned with who you are. It's okay to acknowledge and address feelings of fear and doubt instead of simply ignoring them. Our emotions are valuable pieces of information that should not be overridden but instead observed and understood. That's why I encourage you to get curious about your emotions, thoughts, and stories and use tools to observe and regulate them to make more aligned and balanced decisions.
Another popular saying is "Fake it till you make it." However, I disagree with this advice, especially for women in leadership. Building self-trust and confidence comes from being honest about where you are in your journey, seeking help, learning through experience, and being open to feedback. You don't have to pretend to have all the answers from day one. Instead, embrace your growth and be authentic about your learning process.
At the end of the day, it's important as a woman in leadership to show up authentically and confidently without letting fear and doubt hold power over you. To further support you on this journey, I've created the Confidence Blueprint guide, which provides essential tools to help you show up confidently and overcome challenges.
