66. Mimicking Confidence v. Developing Authentic Confidence
Lots of work around confidence is actually aimed at helping you mask low confidence by mimicking confidence; wearing a power suit, speaking in the right kind of way, focusing on 'executive presence'. I am not up for helping you mask low confidence with presentation 'tricks'. I am here to help you look behind the mask, find out why you dont feel as confident as you deserve and work there to help you feel confidence v. look confident.
Mimicking confidence keeps you stuck in a low confidence cycle and have you constantly having to 'mask' it. Developing authentic confidence requires a different approach and one which ultimately means you dont have to mimic confidence anymore; because you actually feel it inside. Listen on to find out how.
