In this episode, I talk to Nicola Buckley. As a confidence & neuroscience expert, Nicola’s purpose is to help you achieve your self-identity for an impactful living.

Nicola and I share thoughts on being in the direct corporate world without having to please others to avoid their judgment.

Have you have restricted your natural responses for fear of being seen as too aggressive, or blunt?

OR maybe you've been called out on 'not being professional' and being overly emotional... when that's just who you are! It can be exhausting to hold yourself back.
