Confident At Work

Ever spiralled after a perfectly normal email?

Yeah, same :-)

In this episode, we’re separating fact from fiction and calling out the brain drama that wrecks your confidence. You’ll learn how to spot when your mind’s making stuff up (spoiler: it’s often) and how to get back to solid ground.

I’ll walk you through:

• A super simple fact-vs-drama check-in tool

• Three common scenarios where our minds go full soap opera

• Why this matters if you want to feel calmer, clearer, and more confident at work

Tune in and take your confidence back from your inner drama llama.

You’re performing. You’re delivering. Great - but what’s actually driving you day to day?

Many high performers are secretly powering their success with a unsustainable fuel source - fear:

🔁 Fear of not being good enough

🔁 Fear of falling behind; and

🔁 Fear of being found out

In this episode, we explore whether you're using the equivalent of fossil fuels to power your career. Sure they work - but they have byproducts which pollute and destroy your confidence.

We’ll look at:

• ​How fear-fuelled performance works
• ​The hidden toll it takes on confidence and wellbeing
• ​What renewable energy and motivation looks and sounds like

High performance doesn’t have to run on the equivalent of fossil fuels.

What if your success could run on a cleaner, more sustainable fuel source? Find out how you can switch to 100% renewable motivation and drive in 2025!

It’s one thing to feel unconfident - but it’s another thing entirely to fear and focus on the fact that others can see it. That fear can spiral fast: you’re no longer just doing the thing… you’re managing how you look doing it.

In this episode, we explore:

• ​Why this fear runs so deep — especially for high-achievers and leaders
• ​How worrying about being seen as nervous fuels more nerves
• ​The truth about confidence (hint: it’s not about never wobbling)
• ​What shifts when you stop focusing on hiding your nerves and show up anyway

When confidence is low, connection gets lost. In this episode, we explore how self-doubt pulls your attention away from the moment - making it harder to connect with yourself, your work, your team, and the people around you.

From one-to-one conversations to big presentations, in this episode Anna shares examples of how being in your head stops you being present . If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t quite “there” in the room and you're wondering how to get back there, this one's for you.

Most people live in reactive mode at work - constantly responding, firefighting, replying and scrambling to keep up. It’s draining, and it quietly chips away at your confidence.

In this short episode, I break down the difference between reactive vs proactive behaviour and why learning to get ahead (just a little!) can change how you feel, work, and lead.

Expect:

• Real-life examples of reactive traps

• What being proactive actually looks like

If you’ve ever looked around at work and thought, “I need to be more like them to be confident,” this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re busting one of the most persistent myths about confidence - that it means being the loudest voice in the room. The one who always speaks up first, takes up space, and never seems unsure.

But what if that isn't you?

What if you’re a quiet leader?

What if you think carefully and more slowly?

This episode is a gentle call back to yourself.

We’ll explore:

• ​Why the “loud = confident” myth is so persistent (and so damaging)
• ​What real confidence looks like — and why it can be quiet, thoughtful, and grounded
• How to stop performing confidence and start being it

Whether you’re a deep thinker, a reflector or quiet doer, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need to change your personality on the road to being more confident.

Have you ever held back from speaking in a meeting because you thought you might sound stupid? You’re not alone - and this episode is for you.

In today’s episode of Confident at Work, we explore the all-too-familiar fear that arises right before you want to speak up: “What if I sound stupid?” Whether you're asking a question, sharing an idea, or challenging something in the room, that fear can derail your confidence and silence yourself.

I’ll walk you through what’s actually happening in those moments, why your brain jumps to self-doubt, and how to shift out of it so you can contribute with more clarity, calm, and confidence.

You'll learn what it takes to stop the overthinking - so you can start focusing on what you actually want to say.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the fear of sounding stupid is so common (even among smart, capable professionals)

• What happens internally when that fear shows up

• How to interrupt the cycle so you can feel more engaged and less self-conscious

This episode is for you if:

• You regularly think, “I’m going to sound stupid” just before speaking
