Episode #86 The Confidence Gap

The Confidence Gap is the gap between the confidence you’ve earned and the confidence you feel when it’s time to get to work.

How wide is yours and what are you doing to bridge it?

Here’s why this matters:

1. The Confidence Gap is the measure of your unfulfilled potential – so the bigger the gap, the more you are capable of beyond your current performance

2. When you’re doubting yourself, or not performing to your potential, the Confidence Gap shows it’s a confidence issue, NOT a capability issue. Good to know, so you can solve the right ‘problem’

3. That restless, frustrated feeling you get when you think about your career progression? That’s the Confidence Gap at play – calling you to close the gap. Telling you you’re capable of more.

4. Your Confidence Gap isn’t fixed in stone. Closing the gap so you fulfil more of your potential is something you can start doing today.

In episode 86 of the Legal Imposters Podcast I show you how.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. How to close your Confidence Gap

2. The difference between confidence in WHO YOU ARE, and confidence in WHAT YOU DO (and which should come first)

3. How to start closing your Confidence Gap today

4. Why you need to get started right away
