The Confidence Method is a systematic way to unpack and understand the stories we have been told and those we tell ourselves. These narratives often fuel our insecurities and lack of self-confidence.

Key Quotes

• "If you could go back and find the beginnings of the threads of the stories told to you about you... those stories were a greater representation of the storyteller than they were the main character of the story."
• "Imposter syndrome... is just us fueling ourselves with the wrong information."
• "Where these two stories collide, there is inevitably an impact."
• "Self-confidence is simply the belief that something is good. The belief that you are good."
• "If you are willing to put in the effort and do the work to discover what makes you worthy and valuable and in fact good, it will radically transform your life."

Exploring Stories Told to You

Reflect on the stories told to you about you, particularly those that start with phrases like, "You are too..." or "You always..." These narratives can deeply influence self-perception and confidence.

Stories You Tell Yourself

We shift the focus to the internal dialogue, the self-imposed stories that align with or mirror the external narratives received. These self-told stories contribute to the feeling of being an imposter.

The Collision of Stories and Its Impact

Where these external and internal stories meet, a significant impact is created. They are a collision, leading to deep-seated beliefs that can undermine confidence.

Transforming Lies into Truths

I outline my method to convert negative self-talk into affirmed truths. By identifying and confronting lies, confirming actual truths, and affirming goodness, individuals can build genuine self-confidence.
