As a young twenty-something ambitious finance professional, I was confident in my career success. ‘Study and work hard’ had been values embedded early and progression seemed easy, with the support of mentors and sponsors. Despite success, there had always been a little voice, a part of me that would be terrified when asked to do anything involving public speaking for fear of being judged or being made a fool. A part of me that would shrink when I would walk into a room where I did not know anyone, for fear I would not have anyone to talk to or anything to say.
The more senior I became in my career, the more public speaking and networking were required, and the more self-doubt started to emerge. At times, I was tempted to give it all up, play it safe and retreat to a career and life that required none of this. Tired and somewhat frustrated at the level of emotional and mental energy wasted on seemingly simple activities, I dived into what has become a lifelong commitment to personal and professional development and the journey that led to Core Confidence.”

Do you constantly second-guess yourself?
Do you worry that you’ve said the wrong thing (possibly at the wrong time, to the wrong person)?
Ever wonder if other people have that same critical voice in their head?
That voice that makes you over-analyse the look on your boss’s face after you spoke up in last week’s meeting. And you know that even though that look could mean a thousand different things, that voice in your head has decided it definitely means you got something wrong.
Self-doubt and second-guessing what you said and what you’ll do next is not new or unusual. If you are like most of us it’s something you’re probably very familiar with.
Are you sick of it, yet?
Are you sick of spending so much time and energy worrying about all the what if’s.

Breathe! Here’s the truth. There is nothing wrong with you.
In fact, you are just like hundreds of talented, ambitious, and capable women who, despite spending years building skills and capability and proving themselves to everyone, still experience self-doubt and have to deal with their inner critic. Maybe you don’t feel this all of the time, but it’s there more often than you’d like. And it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how many more qualifications you acquire, just when you want to take that leap or try something new, that old familiar voice in your head raises all the reasons why it’s a bad idea.
