Confidence is crucial to reaching your goals - don’t let these common myths sabotage your success.

In this empowering episode of "Rock Your Reinvention," we dive deep into the topic of confidence—one of the most essential yet elusive qualities for high-achieving women looking to make a career transition or start their own businesses. I debunk the top 5 myths about confidence that often hold us back and share practical strategies to overcome them.

We’ll cover:

• Myth #1: "I have it or I don't." Discover why confidence is a skill that can be developed, not an innate trait.
• Myth #2: "When I'm confident, I won't feel any fear or discomfort." Learn why fear and discomfort are natural and how to push through them.
• Myth #3: "Someone else can destroy my confidence." Understand how to protect your confidence from external criticism and feedback.
• Myth #4: "If I'm too confident, people will think I'm braggy or cocky." Find out how to balance confidence and humility.
• Myth #5: "You can't fake confidence." Explore the power of 'fake it till you make it' and how to use autosuggestion to boost your confidence.

Key Takeaways:

1. Confidence is a Learnable Skill: It's not about being born with it; it's about practicing and developing it over time.
2. Embrace Fear and Discomfort: These feelings are part of the journey, even for confident individuals.
3. Protect Your Confidence: No one can destroy your confidence without your permission. Learn to filter feedback and maintain your self-belief.
4. Balance Confidence and Humility: Being confident doesn’t mean being arrogant. It's about owning your strengths while staying grounded.
