Building Confidence

Sometimes we can find ourselves in the heat of the moment, we have been putting up with someone's sh!t for months, and then we crack it, But it doesn't have to be that way.

In this episode I go through the difference between responding vs reacting and how to set yourself to have a productive outcome.

So often, we find ourselves making excuses for other people's behaviour, whether it is a 'teaching method' or they are having a bad day, which turns into a bad few months. It's important to check in and see if it is bullying. It may have been happening so long that you are 'used' to it, but really, you are going to work with your guard up, ready to dodge any hurtful things that are being said to you.

In this episode, I explain how to check in and see if something is crossing a line (everyone's line is different) and how to have a conversation to create change.

So often, we feel like we just crack it, but more often than not, that is not the case, our body and brain have given us signals of annoyance and small amounts of anger that we often ignore, we wouldn't ignore the signals that an engine would give us, we would look into them, we don't expect an engine switch issues just to rest for a night and be fine the next day, so why do we do that to ourselves?

We need to know which world an issue is happening to create a plan of attack; changing your self talk won't make your pay go up, but changing your talk to feel more confident than going to ask for a pay review will!
