Finding Your It Factor

Marijanel Show

057. What makes heads turn? What shifts the entire atmosphere of a room when someone walks in? Not bravado. Not insecurity, but confidence. It's what you've been admiring in the people you look up to, it's what you've been wishing for in your life and creativity.
Today on the show, we're going to talk about how to build confidence in your life. And by the end of today's show, you'll have a new sense of self-assurance that will serve you well in any situation.
I'm going to tell you all about what I've been learning from two books I'm reading... The Confidence Code by Katty Kay, and Claire Shipman and Find your Voice by Caroline Goyder. I started those books because I wanted to explore how creativity, confidence and purpose are related, and what it means for me to become the most confident content creator and podcaster that I can be in my lifetime.
I talk about what taking your rightful place in authority and confidence means to me, and how it affects our sense of belonging, and the ways we tend to apologize for ourselves instead of simply be in a state of confidence. I share how I was recently the director on a film set and how I needed to exude confidence to put the whole crew at ease and what the producer ended up telling me after the shoot.
You'll hear a definition of true confidence that will really take the lid off and expose both extremes, arrogance and insecurity, for the lies they are. We think about what it really is about that person who walks in the room with confidence that changes the environment...their body language, introductions, natural ability to give away confidence rather than suck attention. This leads us to explore the IT Factor and how to find YOURS!
