Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 213

In this episode Dr. Shaw addresses the notion of having confidence.  She begins by noting that, often in life, individuals who have confidence will go further than those who possess actual talent but lack confidence.  Dr. Shaw shares that this is hot topic for her personally, and that in fact while she is working on a new book, she tends to ask the question, "Am I really qualified to create this book?"   It really comes down to being an internal battle with self-doubt, and that can often be the re-appearance of an old "muscle," one that lacks confidence.  The idea is to exercise a new muscle that exudes confidence.  She points out that we all need to recognize those habits that don't serve us and to transform those negative thoughts into the feeling that "yes, I can."  Additionally, if you are going to allow anyone to be a coach for you in life, make sure that they are the kind of coach that lifts you up and doesn't keep you down.
