What would more confidence actually allow you to do? In this epsiode on The Confidence Session series, I invite you to look beyond confidence itself and explore what it can lead to in your career and life.

Number 3: 340. The Confidence Sessions: The Invisible Baggage Holding You Back
What are you carrying around with you when you speak English at work? In this Confidence Session, I explore Ian Robertson's idea of “mental backpacks”. These are the labels, past experiences and beliefs that can quietly affect how you perform. We’ll also look at why the right level of challenge can give you a boost, why things stop feeling rewarding once they become comfortable, and how beliefs about being a non-native speaker could be influencing you more than you realise.

Number 4: 338. The Confidence Sessions: The Two Beliefs That Drive Action
What actually makes you take action when you feel confident? In this Confidence Session, I continue breaking down how confidence works by looking at two important beliefs: “I can do it” and “it can happen.” We’ll explore what happens when one of those is missing, why feeling nervous doesn’t necessarily mean you lack confidence, and what this could look like in your meetings, presentations and career.
