Confidence: The Overlooked Foundation of Business Success
Episode Summary
On this episode of A Whole Lotta Shift, host Jen Ingram dives into the importance of confidence in both business and everyday life. She begins by sharing her own experiences attending a regular networking meeting where participants give speeches or ask for help in their business. Despite some members attending for over 10 years, they still get nervous when giving their talks. However, they continue to show up every week and push through their fears.
In this episode, Jen emphasizes that confidence is often overlooked as a foundational piece when discussing businesses. She explains that even if all the necessary tasks are completed, lacking confidence can lead to struggle.
To further explore the topic of confidence, she provides tips for exuding and maintaining confidence. Jen discusses the role of body language in conveying confidence and engagement in conversations. She mentions that crossing arms and looking down can give off a defensive and unconfident impression, while turning towards the person you're talking to, making eye contact, and sitting or standing tall demonstrate active listening and confidence.
Jen also shares personal experiences in activities such as bungee fitness and pole fitness, where trust and stepping outside of one's comfort zone play a significant role. She shares that challenging herself in activities that challenge her mentally and physically is one of the tricks she uses for quick boosts of confidence in her business.
Throughout the episode, the importance of consistent confidence is emphasized. She discusses the impact of impostor syndrome and comparison on self-worth and encourages listeners to embrace their own value and self-confidence.
In addition to discussing body language and confidence, Jen shares her experiences working with children and the importance of teaching life skills that impact how one presents themselves to the world and how they feel. These seemingly small and silly life skills can make a huge difference in building confidence.
Tune in to this episode of A Whole Lotta Shift to learn more about the relationship between confidence, business, and everyday life, and discover practical tips for exuding confidence in various situations.
