Heather Fison has been with me from the very beginning and helped create the structure of this podcast. I have valued her feedback along the journey and her ongoing support. She shares her favorite episodes and the impact they have had on her career, and how you can apply the same tips to your life. 

Dani Hamlet has been my podcast editor for the last year, and she shares her biggest takeaways from not only being my editor, but also a listener. You will be encouraged to give yourself grace on your confidence journey and she reminds us of the value of listening.

Listen to the end and receive tips on starting your own podcast and some bonus guests to help celebrate this exciting milestone!

Tangible Takeaways:

• Omitting the phrase, “I think” from your vocabulary not only helps you come across as more confident but feel more empowered!
• When entering a sales call, give room for the prospective client to express their needs. Avoid the impulse to assume.
• Remember to follow your gut when someone stands out in a sea of people: reach out and make that connection. That’s how Karen and Heather met!
• Growing into your confidence takes time and requires a season of intention and internal work. Give yourself grace on your journey.
• Show up from a place of service wherever you are. It makes all the difference!
• Thinking about starting a podcast? Go for it! Consider the goals for your podcast, your audience, and find ways to stay consistent.
• Most of all, choose to celebrate! Take time today to celebrate something this week, and find ways to celebrate others, as well.
