What you'll learn:

We explore why it’s so hard to say yes to new (and sometimes scary) opportunities and how to overcome those career-limiting hesitations. We don’t want you to wait until you feel confident enough to take the step (‘cause you’ll be waiting forever)! Confidence comes after you take the step. It’s the action that builds your confidence, not the other way around. 

💡 Resist your lizard brains: Your brains can’t tell the difference between real danger and the fear of failure. Don’t let it trick you into saying no! Have sweaty palms or a racing heat? It’s a protection mechanism that doesn’t always serve us. 

💡 Get excited about the upside: Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, which we make much bigger and scarier than it is, ask, “What if it goes right?” Visualising the best-case scenario can shift our mindsets. 

💡 Back yourself to learn by doing: You don’t need to have all the answers right away. Take the leap, and know that you’ll figure it out along the way. If you ride a bike, parent, drive, or play an instrument, you’ve already proven that you can learn by doing.
