Self Belief Unsquashed

Trisha Lewis - Getting Forensic with Fear of Rejection.

Just me rambling on! Well - short and sweet and hopefully thought-provoking.  I believe that there are various FIBs that stand between us and our REAL impact - (fears,illusions and baggage). I will do some unwrapping on some of these every now and then - this mini episode is on the fear of rejection - a big human thing!

What a treat! John is back! With his brilliant book on the brink of launching, we delved into the content of CONTENT DNA as well as his very REAL experience of what it takes to get a book from concept to launch. We talk about finding and staying true to your 'shape' - so the people you want to engage really get what you are about - and remember you. This is essential listening.

#40 Nick Diakanastasis - Public Speaking - it is not about you!

Nick Diakanastasis helps introverts ace their public speaking - with some good old-school technique! We talk breath, voice and end-users… we question just who you are showing up for and why? We pull the term ‘confident’ apart… and Nick gives us all a good dose of reality and perspective. Needless to say we also talk about Nick’s evolution - things will resonate.
 

#39 Stella Scott - Make Friends with Yourself

Stella Scott is a wonderful mix of earthy, funny and practical! You will love this conversation.  She coaches women to 'fall in love with themselves' - because - low self-esteem cripples your leadership! Her story includes rising to a big challenge - it involves pain, dance and mirrors! This conversation will inspire and bring you back to your mind body basics.
 

#38 Trisha Lewis - Avoiding the 'should-traps'

So much advice out there! Much of it very well-meaning... but is it right for us? The minute you feel disconnected and misaligned - you lose motivation and you weaken the engagement vibe.  This is a 10 minute musing on the trap of falling for too many 'should and should not' pieces of advice.

#37 Devin Halliday - Real 'Belonging' not 'Artificial Connection'

Devin Halliday knows a thing or two about belonging. From the life lessons to the stories of his clients - he gets what it is that makes us really belong, rather than emulate or belief that artificial connection is the real deal. His favourite words are 'reciprocity' and 'curiosity' and 'connection' - and as you will hear I struggle with actually saying the first of those! A rich conversation full of story, insight and practical tips.

#36 Stefano Capacchione - Connect to Hearts and Minds with Story

Stefano Capacchione is a creative writer - a storyteller - and the kind of person you want to talk to for hours on end!

We even talk about the persuasive power of hope.
