Minisode 514: On how to cultivate confidence

In today’s minisode episode, I’m bringing you the summary of a coaching session I had with a woman named Lisa (not her real name). She came to the session wanting coaching around confidence– it was something she wanted more of, especially around her career.

Listen in to this short episode as I walk you through the questions I asked her, that hopefully you will ask yourself to be able to work on your own level of confidence. Spoiler...confidence is the end goal, and the path to get there needs to be intentional and specific.

I’m sure you’ll see bits of yourself in this minisode, and find some guidance in the questions and tools I give here.
