How to Feel Confident - Becoming Unstoppable!

View descriptionShare

Sue delves into the topic of building confidence and self-esteem, particularly during midlife when doubts and insecurities may arise. She explores the concept of confidence as a muscle that can be developed through mindset shifts and practical actions. Sue emphasises the importance of stepping boldly into new challenges, taking big and bold actions to build competence and, in turn, confidence. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Building confidence is essential for showing up boldly in various aspects of life, especially during midlife when confidence may dip due to various factors like new challenges and reflections on past decisions.
  • Confidence is not a fixed characteristic but a muscle that can be developed through consistent effort and stepping out of one's comfort zone.
  • The confidence-competence loop emphasizes that becoming more competent leads to increased confidence, highlighting the importance of taking action and learning from failures.
  • To build confidence, one should focus on doing big or bold actions, such as challenging oneself to connect with new people, creating impactful content, or signing up for new experiences.
  • Embracing a mindset shift towards focusing on the future rather than dwelling on past failures can significantly impact one's confidence and ability to achieve goals.

BEST MOMENTS

"I feel like in our midlife, we have a dip in confidence... we have got to break away that shell that's keeping all of that potential inside of you." 

"Feeling confident is the reason I'm not consistent on social media... it's slowing you down, keeping you playing small." 

"If you fail fast, Run like a cheetah. What have you done? You've saved yourself time and effort that you'd have procrastinated and perfected something that wasn't going to work for weeks." 

"For every level, there's a new devil. But every time you hear that voice that says, I just don't have the confidence to do this today. Turn over the next chapter in your book."
