Episode Summary

What does it mean to be confident? How do we find it? What happens when it disappears?I'm joined today by my friend and fellow coach, Debbie Pugh.The founder of The Quiet Network, Debbie has a wealth of experience in exploring self-confidence, both for herself and her clients.I found this conversation deeply enriching as we explored a range of ideas, beliefs and behaviours that can contribute to - and detract from - a feeling of self-confidence.Today, we discuss...The distinction & balance between being an introvert or an extrovertHow our levels of self-confidence are affected by internal or external validationHow deep self-care can support us in developing and sustaining our self-confidenceWhat happens when our confidence plummetsHow we often try to intellectualise our way out of a drop in confidenceHow to reframe our language to reframe our experience of things that knock our confidenceHow our inner parts - our child self or adolescent self - can be activated when things happen that make us feel less confidentSelf-confidence is an energy - aligned directly with understanding what motivates usHow meditation can be a powerful tool in helping us observe what’s happening in our mindComparison is the thief of joy - and we can never know what others think or feel - non-judgemental observation is keyThe transformative quality of the power dynamics of transactional analysis and the ++ mindset - and how we can CHOOSE to adopt the mindset that most serves us (and most serves our interactions with others)Self-confidence at it’s heart is the deep knowledge of “I’m ok”And we close with a quote from Planes, Trains & Automobiles… now, you didn’t expect that!Always remember, everything is an experiment.Henny xShop The Heart of Change at https://www.shookbop.com/products/theheartofchange “What if we obsess about the things we love about ourselves?” Anon“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others.
