What you'll learn:

Have you noticed your brain hits the panic button when an exciting opportunity lands in your lap (we’ve all been there!)? Discover why saying ‘yes’ feels so tricky and get practical strategies to back yourself to ‘learn by doing’. This is for anyone who’s ever felt a flutter of self-doubt (so, pretty much everyone):

💡 Acknowledge your lizard brain: Your amygdala can’t distinguish between a tiger and a tough conversation – your brain tries to ‘protect’ you from new opportunities.

💡 Focus on the upside: Our brains naturally fixate on what could go wrong. Athletes retrain their mindsets by visualising success, and you can, too. 

💡 Adopt a not-yet mentality: Confidence comes after action, not before. You know you can learn by doing (walking, languages, instruments), and your career is no different.
