What does the voice inside your head sound like most days? Is she cheering you on or pointing out every time you fall? Today, Elizabeth Willetts talks to leadership and life coach Violet Black about how women can nourish their inner champions to propel themselves forward rather than hold themselves back.
Violet draws on science and sociology to explain why women can lack confidence in themselves, even if they’re qualified and competent. She then dives into neurobiology to show that we can change our thoughts about ourselves by building better habits. She uses this as a springboard to launch her mission to get women to lean into their inner champion and offers helpful tips on which behaviours will encourage their inner champion to thrive.
Elizabeth and Violet discuss job hunting and how women can use their inner champion voice to sustain themselves through the challenge of finding a new job, which can be a stressful and turbulent time. At the end of the live chat, listen out for Violet’s technique to recognise when your inner critic voice is chiming in and her exercise to help re-centre and soothe yourself.
If you tend to doubt yourself even when you have a track record of stellar achievements, make sure to listen to this chat and follow Elizabeth for more great interviews about prioritising self-care and boosting your self-confidence.
