062 | Gaining confidence in your own abilities - Part 2: Personal Development

This is part 2 of our series: Gaining confidence in your own abilities. 

Today, we are discussing personal development. 

Personal development will look different for each and every one of us out there. Because we're all unique and different. 

In this episode, I discuss with you the steps you need to follow to gain confidence in your own abilities through personal development.

1. Reflection - reflect on why you have a lack of confidence in a certain area. If it's related to an historic event for example where someone said something about you, then ask yourself, is it true? If it's true, then do you need to do something about it to change that, like further study, speak to someone or practice those skills. If it's not true, then you need to let it go!

2. Learning - What learning do you have to do or engage in to learn more so that you can gain confidence is the thing that's holding you back?

3. Practice - Practice your new skill. You won't gain confidence by only participating in learning or listening to this podcast for example, you need to go and do the thing.

4. Feedback - Gain feedback from others so that you can improve where you still need to. 

5. Get out of your comfort zone!
