Building authentic confidence is essential for consultants who want to create sustainable success. In this episode, Melisa Liberman shares why waiting for external validation keeps you stuck and provides practical tools to generate confidence that drives results.
Key Topics Covered:
Understanding the Confidence Challenge: Many consultants leave successful corporate careers only to find their confidence shaken without a title or organizational backing. This common experience creates a cycle of waiting for external validation before feeling confident enough to take bold action.
Breaking the “As Soon As” Cycle: The tendency to think “I’ll feel confident as soon as…” creates a damaging pattern that prevents consultants from reaching their full potential. Melisa explains why this mindset is flawed and how to break free from it.
The Source of True Confidence: Discover why confidence comes from your internal thought collection rather than external achievements. This revelation puts you back in control of your business success rather than waiting for outside validation.
The BE-DO-HAVE Framework: Learn a powerful tool for generating confidence on demand, showing you how to think and act like the successful consultant you want to become, rather than waiting for results to feel confident.
The Future Self Tool: Get practical steps for implementing the BE-DO-HAVE framework through the “Future Self” exercise, helping you embody confidence before achieving specific results.
