#141 – MAKING FRIENDS WITH FEAR AS YOU BUILD CONFIDENCE (THE C-WORD)
Hi there & welcome back!
Well, if you thought you weren’t born with confidence, it’s time for a re-frame – and todays brilliant episode is going to help you step beyond self-doubt (or imposter syndrome), with practical tips on how to make friends with fear & build confidence in every aspect of your life.
My guest on this episode is the wonderful Melanie Schilling - a specialist in human behaviour & performance - who has built a 20-year career as a therapist, business consultant, TV presenter and leadership coach for high performing people.
You’ll find it a fascinating discussion as Melanie draws on her background in psychology, stage and TV to give you a new look at how to break the shackles of doubt and the power of dreaming without limits.
Some of the things you'll learn in this episode:
- How expanding your comfort zone & bringing new things into your comfort zone is a good way to step into courage gradually. Building your self-belief which then builds your confidence.
- How having a higher purpose – a strong vision & ‘reason why’ – will help you overcome the barrier of fear.
- That courage emerges when what you want is bigger than what you fear.
- How self-awareness can be built …and why it’s such an important skill to develop.
- That so much of personal growth comes from how you talk to yourself – and how you can do this better (hint: journaling is key!)
- How journaling is such a brilliant way to get unconscious stuff into your conscious mind and onto the page, so you can examine it. Giving you valuable insights to help you understand yourself better, take better decisions and positively influence the outcomes you have in life.
- Effective & powerful ways to combat imposter syndrome.
- Powerful ways of ‘faking it till you make it’.
- How to say a positive ‘no!’
- …and so much more!
