Ulrike explores with Lucy Gernon, founder of Powerhouse Revolution, five concrete actionable steps that are game-changing when it comes to overcoming self-doubt and building confidence.
Now is your time to step in and step up! The world is changing and we need more powerhouse female leaders to shift corporate culture and make a big impact. Stop holding yourselves back playing small and chase your big goals! Confidence comes from taking action and it takes 66 to 365 days to actually form new neurological pathways in the brain.
So if you've been thinking a certain way about yourself for 40 years, it's going to take a little bit of time for you to really change your mindset. But be reassured! By following the five steps of Lucy’s method you can make a substantial shift from self-doubt to self-confidence.
1. Create Awareness: Get started by exploring your thoughts and becoming aware of your thinking, especially in situations where you feel a lack of self-confidence.
2. Collect evidence: Are people actually really thinking that you are not good enough or is this just your interpretation of their reaction? Is their reaction maybe not related at all to you but to something that is personal to THEM?
3. Own your superpowers: Now take a step back and look at the big picture and ask yourself “What facts or data do I have to support the fact that I do deserve to be in this role?”
4. Power up with perspective: Pick three people and ask for constructive feedback. You can ask questions like “ What do you think my strengths are?” or “What do you think I'm good at?” because when you ask what are you doing well, then you can do more of that.
5. Empower yourself: This is about identifying your repetitive, automatic negative thoughts that happen subconsciously and bringing them to the surface. This is how you can make an empowered decision and turn them into power statements that you can reaffirm daily over and over and over again until you believe it.
