Confidence is key! 🔑

Heyyyy BOLD Leaders 🤩

Wow, can you believe it's been a whole month since we began this newsletter journey together? 😲

I've made some amazing new connections, had great coffee chats, and been invited to some awesome events.

Who knew all of this would have been possible from just taking action on an idea I had?

The feedback has been fantastic; at a recent event, someone recognized me from LinkedIn and shared that they've been taking bold action this week and went live on their LinkedIn page!

We both celebrated this bold move and acknowledged the power of stepping outside of our comfort zones.

I meet a lot of people who do not engage but say they follow my content (Hey, if this sounds like you!)

You'd be surprised by the number of people who greet my red chair when we jump on a call. It's always a funny moment! 😄

Reflecting on my journey, I remember the days when fitting into the corporate world felt like a struggle.

But now, I proudly embrace my uniqueness, rock my natural hair, and have coaching sessions from my bright red chair.

I've come to realise that I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and you know what? That's perfectly okay.

Reading this back, it does feel like a glimpse into a journal entry, doesn't it? Welcome to behind the scenes!

Today, let's dive deep into the topic of confidence.

Whether you're a business owner or navigating the 9-5 grind, confidence has become the ultimate competitive advantage in our rapidly evolving world.

Someone can have less experience and fewer skills than you, but if they own their gifts and have confidence, they will stand out ten times more.

One of the reasons I became a coach back in 2010, was to empower people to unwrap their gifts.

However, over the years, I have seen many gifted people not want to share their gifts due to low confidence, imposter syndrome, and not feeling good enough.

You can have all the gifts in the world.

However, without self-belief, your gift can stay hidden.

Being bold isn't about being loud; it's about confidently owning your gifts with power.

So, let's dig deeper:

✨ Who are you being when you hesitate to go for new opportunities because you feel underqualified?

✨ Who are you being when you don't reach out to that new connection just in case they do not reply?

✨ Who are you being when you allow past failures to define your future potential?

Remember, those who fade into the background are easily forgotten.

It's time to embrace your uniqueness, be bold, and see your career elevate.

Here are 3 ways to build your confidence this week:

1. Challenge Negative Self-Talk: Pay attention to your inner voice and challenge any negative thoughts or self-doubt. Replace them with affirmations and positive statements about your abilities and worth.

2. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Growth and confidence thrive beyond your comfort zone. Each time you push your boundaries and succeed, you'll build resilience and confidence in your abilities.

3. Celebrate Your Achievements: Take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate even the smallest of victories. Every accomplishment, no matter how minor, is a testament to your growth and deserves recognition.

And remember, there's always room for further growth and transformation.

Consider seeking guidance from a coach to delve deeper into transforming your mindset. And if past traumas are weighing you down, counseling may offer the support you need to heal and thrive.

Let's continue this journey of empowerment and growth together, BOLD community!

Your presence and contributions make this community truly special.

BOLDly yours,
