The Art of Speaking Up

Have you ever wondered why some people seem naturally confident while others struggle with self-doubt? In this episode, I'm breaking down what I call the confidence equation - a framework that explains exactly what determines your current level of confidence.

I'll walk you through the four ingredients that shape how confident you feel. The best part? Three out of four of these ingredients are within your control to change.

If you've been working hard to build your confidence but feel like you're hitting a wall, this episode will help you understand why - and more importantly, what to do about it.
