Creating belief in yourself isn't cheesy - it's critical to your success. In this episode, I'm peeling back the curtain to what it takes to believe in yourself, in your ability to create any goal, and in your ability to make any goal happen. It isn't as easy as confidence and motivation.

It isn't as easy as affirmations and manifesting your belief. You can't just tell yourself in the mirror and force yourself to believe something you don't. Instead, you need to understand the science of your brain, how it's wired, why you don't have belief already and what to do to create the results you want.

I'm also going to share a new milestone and goal I reached and how creating belief in myself and practicing what I'm teaching you in this episode has created a whole new result.

What you'll learn:

• Why believing in yourself is important to your career
• How your brain impacts your ability to believe in your goals
• How to create motivation and confidence for any goal you want to achieve
• The compound effect strategy that gives you an advantage over your peers

On this episode, I'm talking with Nick Droste from Emergent BioSolutions. Nick is retired from the army and now works as a Supervisor in biotech manufacturing. Nick also volunteers with Vets2Industry a service for Veterans that provides knowledge, connections, opportunities and, more importantly, HOPE, helping Veterans transfer into civilian jobs.

This episode not only gives a glimpse into the vast and diverse skills that Veterans have and their applicability to biotech but also opens the door (and mind) to a greater conversation:

Transferable skills and the gap the biotech/pharma industry has in leveraging Veterans and other groups for its talent pipeline.

Tune in to here:

• How to leverage transferable skills to land a job in a new industry
• The work Nick and Emergent are doing to strengthen their talent pipeline and support the Veteran community, and how you can get involved
• Why diversity of thought is so important and how it can improve productivity, efficiency and performance
• Gaps in the current HR/Recruiting systems that overlook qualified talent and what to do instead
• How leveraging the skills of Veterans in biotech doesn't only benefit the company, it could save a life
