Visibility Is a Skill: Bridging the Confidence Gap with Sheena Yap Chan
Confidence isn't about feeling fearless.
It's about trusting yourself enough to take the first step anyway.
In this episode of Shedding the Shame, I sit down with Sheena Yap Chan, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, TEDx speaker, host of The Tao of Self-Confidence podcast, and creator of the VISIBLE™ Framework. For nearly a decade, Sheena has been helping women build confidence and step into leadership, with a special focus on increasing the visibility and representation of Asian women, whose voices and contributions have too often been overlooked.
Together, we explore why so many women struggle to recognize their own abilities and how the confidence gap impacts our careers, relationships, and lives.
Sheena shares how cultural expectations, imposter syndrome, and the fear of self-promotion can keep women playing small, even when they're more than qualified. We also talk about why simply working hard isn't enough, the importance of advocating for yourself, and how confidence is a skill that can be built.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What the "confidence gap" really is and why it holds so many women back
• Why working hard doesn't always lead to recognition or promotion
• The importance of self-advocacy in your career and everyday life
• How cultural conditioning can shape the way we see ourselves, especially for Asian women navigating stereotypes and expectations
• Navigating imposter syndrome and learning to trust your own voice
• Why confidence isn't something you're born with. It's something you practice.
• Small, practical ways to become more visible and advocate for yourself, even before you feel ready
If you've ever questioned whether you're qualified enough, worried about speaking up, or waited for someone else to recognize your worth, this conversation is for you.
The opportunities you're waiting for may start with believing you're already capable of them.
