CONFIDENCE

Have you ever looked at another woman and thought, I wish I was as confident as she is?

As if she was born with it.

As if confidence was handed out at birth and somehow you missed your turn.

It doesn’t work like that.

It’s something you practise and choose daily - again and again.

Which is why confidence often wobbles most when the stakes are high.

Big meetings.

Negotiating pay.

Speaking on panels.

That wobble can quickly turn into: what if I’m not actually capable?

What if I make the wrong move and can’t undo it?

This is what I hear all the time from women who are good at their jobs but don’t always feel respected. Often as they step into bigger roles, or after layoffs, restructures, or seeing their work credited to others, and now finding themselves at a crossroads.

And yes - this includes me too.

I did the LINC personality profile. A tool I use with clients to understand what drives them, how they show up under pressure, and where their strengths really sit.

After discipline, my second highest competency is confident manner.

And still, I wobble.

Confidence isn’t never doubting yourself.

It’s doubting yourself and finding the courage to do it anyway.

So the next time you look at another woman and think, I wish I was that confident - there’s a good chance she’s wobbling too, even if it doesn’t look like it.

If your confidence feels shaky right now and you want space to think it through, this is exactly the kind of work I do with women in music. You don’t have to have a clear plan - just something you want to talk through. You can book a chat here or simply DM me.

Always in your corner,
