How to Be Confident When You Lack Confidence in Your Capability [073]

March 01, 2022 • Kara Ronin • Season 2 • Episode 73

How can you be confident when you lack confidence in your capability? One of the realities for many emerging leaders, especially high-achieving people or perfectionists, is that it’s a challenge to feel confident in your capability.

You may have a high-level of experience, you may be educated or have received specialised training, but despite all of that you still lack confidence in your capability at work. You convince yourself you’re not intelligent enough, you’re not competent enough or you’re not good enough.

Does this sound familiar? If you can relate to any of what you’ve read so far, then this episode is for you.

I talk about how you can feel confident when you lack confidence in your capability. I talk about:

How to identify whether it’s Impostor Syndrome, or not.
Comparing yourself to others - when it’s good and when it’s bad.
Dealing with your inner self-talk which is almost always negative.
How to remember your achievements when you’re always looking for the next goal to achieve.

There are a lot of nuggets of wisdom in this episode from start to finish. I know you’ll get a lot from it.
