Inside Out Confidence with Sue Revell
Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos
02/16/22 • 35 min
As a young professional Sue’s confidence revolved around assessment and validation from others. It was when she started her own business that Sue began to realize she needed to discover her true confidence, creating an identity that pulls from internal sources, not external.
We discuss the need to embrace being a human BEING and not a human doing, and how we need to start treating self-doubt like an infection and get it out of our systems!
How do we build internal confidence? It first begins with a list and the determination to build a case against self-doubt. Embrace the power of thinking intentionally and listen to how Sue combats self-doubt in her own life.
Tangible Takeaways:
- Confidence comes from self-validation, not from the validation of others.
- Trust yourself! You get to choose your own identity!
- Make a list of accomplishments to combat self-doubt.
- Remember, you are a human BEING, not a human DOING. Value the power of thinking.

The Power of Persistence with Karen Haller
Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos
09/07/22 • 42 min
Have you ever done something and thought, “that wasn’t it.” For Karen Haller this phrase came back over and over as she explored new things throughout her life. Until one day it hit her: it's color!
Karen dove deep into all things color and now sheds light on the psychology behind color. Karen’s book, “The Little Book of Colour”, and one-on-one consultations teach others to select colors that reflect them and give confidence.
Listen to how her adventurous spirit led her on some crazy adventures and the value of never giving up - even when things scare you.
Tangible Takeaways:
- Embrace the freedom to use color to express yourself authentically.
- Avoid dressing to fit in: dress to reflect who you truly are.
- Don’t waste time worrying about what other people think of you - they don’t have the power to make you happy.
- Take colors and hold them under your chin: notice the impact on your complexion. If it lights you up, wear it and be your radiant self!
- Embrace the journey of discovery. Try new things in your career and experiences. One day something will feel like coming home.
- Remember: finding your place in this world takes time. Give yourself grace on your own journey.

Picture Your Success with Sharon Shannon
Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos
05/31/23 • 40 min
Tangible Takeaways:
- Think bigger - we can always do better than where we are. It doesn't matter what we do or how much progress we made (or lack thereof) there's always better. Avoid settling
- It doesn't matter how low you are, you can do what is in your heart.
- When you're in the midst of it, it is a time to dig deep, do the internal work.
- You have to picture yourself as successful and not speak doom and gloom over your life. Force yourself to change your perspective.
- Start with one thing, don’t get so lost in the sauce. Everything doesn’t have to be created at once - how can we possibly market all of that at once?

- Do the thing and confidence will come; not the other way around.
- Complete this sentence: “I forgive you for...”
- Make your own choices versus doing what others want (wished she had said “no” to her dad about going into finance)
- Book recommendation: “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” by Dr. Joe Dispenza

Ignite Your Confidence with Karen Laos
06/16/21 • 20 min
What does self-promotion mean in the first place? It’s simply sharing who you are and what you do so the world knows you exist!
Listen in as Karen walks through these three tips on how to promote yourself with ease.
- Ask yourself why it’s so hard and then come up with a message to counteract that. 80%+ is mindset, so tackle your fears and self-doubt first!
- Ask yourself: how does what I do serve the world? How can you help others? If we recognize our gifts and talents help others, then we may be more willing to share them!
- Use these two sentence prompts to help you with an exact template to talk about who you are and what you do so it can be EASY!
