416 | You're not broken: how to build confidence without trying to fix yourself

Episode Description from the Publisher

Are you trying to build confidence at work but feel like you're stuck in a cycle of never being good enough?  In this episode, I'm breaking down two very different approaches to building confidence — the Fixing Method and the Expansion Method — and explaining why one of them works while the other one sabotages growth. If you struggle with perfectionist standards, crushing pressure, and a lose-lose cycle where no amount of progress ever feels like enough - this is the episode for you.   I’ll help you see that youre already capable, and that building confidence at work is about amplifying your true self, not correcting your flaws. If you’re ready to build genuine, lasting confidence without the self-punishment - you must listen to this one.   Join the waitlist for the Art of Speaking Up Academy: https://jessguzikcoaching.com/academy/
