EP4: Decoding Confidence: The Power of Continuous Learning at Work
In this episode of Decoding Confidence, Advita Patel explores why confidence at work is not a fixed trait but something that is built, stretched and sustained through continuous learning.
Drawing on her own experience as a leadership coach and communications consultant, alongside research from psychologist Carol Dweck on growth mindset, Advita challenges the idea that confidence comes from talent, seniority or “having it all figured out”.
Instead, she explains how learning fuels adaptability, resilience and self-trust, especially in fast-changing workplaces. You’ll hear practical, accessible ways to keep learning even when time feels tight, and why building a learning circle can significantly accelerate professional confidence.
This episode is for anyone who wants to feel more assured at work without waiting for permission, promotion or perfection.
