Confident At Work

163. How To Stop Overdoing, And Start Trusting Yourself


Listen Later

If you’ve been trying to feel confident by overdoing everything this episode is your wake-up call!


So many competent professionals fall into the same pattern of overdoing ; overworking, over-preparing, over-delivering, over-checking, and overthinking. And while it works - for a while!


In this episode, Anna Manning explores why so many of us rely on overdoing and why that strategy eventually stops working.


You’ll learn how to shift from control mode to trust, from effort to more ease - and how real confidence begins not with doing more, but by learning how to trust yourself.


  • ​Why overdoing feels like the safe route to confidence - and how it keeps you stuck
  • ​The moment overdoing stops working (and how to recognise it)
  • ​Why confidence built on control always has a limit
  • ​What it actually means to “trust yourself” at work
