Believe it or not, self-confidence isn't about acting outgoing or fearless. Rather, those who embody self-confidence operate from a more foundational sense of self-assurance, and they’re able to foster trust within themselves and amongst others. Join Alessandra Wall, PhD, for this brief interview where she leverages her years of experience as a career coach to empower you to become more confident. Alessandra first debunks myths around what does and doesn't make for a confident individual, and then shares her strategies around demonstrating confidence in specific situations. She then explores the concept of "faking it ‘til you make it," and discusses how this can be a starting point in your journey to obtain confident clarity. Finally, you’ll gain the tools required to voice concerns, express your needs, and make decisions, all with confidence and ease. After viewing, you’ll have the tools you need to develop a new-found level of confidence.
