The "About" sectio...

Confidence & Imposter Syndrome Well this is a great episode with Emily Perry from The People Consultancy.

This episode is a great conversation with Julian Roberts all about confidence and resilience. I was really keen to explore with Julian the link between the two, because I think there are so many similarities.    Julian's take on resilience isn't about grit and determination of simply carrying on, which he says is a slightly toxic way of going through life.  Resilience is about creating a...

CONFIDENCE & CHANGE IN THE WORKPLACE Great to have Tina Jennings on the podcast to talk about change and transformation in business.   Most people come to coaching because of a change - whether that's a change they want to make themselves or a forced change from the employer, but change is so emotive for most.  It's also the thing that's the most constant! As humans we are alway...

Overwhelm & Confidence (and everything in between) This is jam packed conversation primarily about overwhelm with lots of other chat and topics included too!  We talk about metaphors and how they can help us to describe overwhelm and how we are feeling about it.   Did you know we use a metaphor in every 6 words?  We discuss why "mood hoovers" and "negative Nelly's' can...

 The Confidence Iceberg  Before we start with series 2 in this episode I spend a few minutes talking about the origins of confidence as well as the things that positively and negatively impact our confidence on a day-to-day and throughout life.  If confidence is the thing we outwardly display to others this becomes just the tip of the iceberg of what makes up confidence. Therefore the roots of the...
