    166. Why I Want You to F Up While You’re Building Confidence at Work

    In this episode, we're talking about one of the core skills you need to build real confidence at work: tolerating mistakes. Right now, the strategy you’re probably using to feel more confident is getting everything perfect - getting everything right. In this episode, I’ll show you why ultimately, that doesn’t work and what you need to do differently if you want to feel genuinely confident at work. If your confidence drops the moment something goes wrong, this episode is for you. Many professionals struggle with imposter syndrome, overthinking, perfectionism and worrying about how they’re perceived - and you can’t solve any of that without learning to handle mistakes. We’ll explore: ​Why confidence collapses when you depend on everything going right​How perfectionism and over-preparing keep you stuck​Why mistakes feel so threatening​The essential skill that will help keep you calm, grounded and more resilientYou’ll learn how to build confidence that holds up under pressure, and how to feel more steady, capable and yourself at work - even when things get messy.

You’ll hear: How a public-speaking freak-out became manageable nerves How someone stopped shrinking and stayed online when challenged in a meeting How a big meeting went from sick-with-worry → calm, prepared, and done, with no emotional hangover!

    164. Confidence for the Many (Not Just a Privileged Few)

    In this episode of Confident at Work, Anna opens up a powerful conversation about who confidence is really for - and why it’s time we stop treating it like something only a privileged few get to have. Drawing on years of coaching, personal experience, and the patterns she sees across workplaces, Anna explores why so many competent professionals still feel like confidence is out of reach. She digs into the invisible barriers faced by people who’ve been historically marginalised or made to feel “other,” and why confidence isn’t a personality trait you either luck into or miss out on - it’s something you can build, nurture, and grow from the inside out. This episode invites you to see confidence as a generational movement: one that challenges the norms that reward the already-advantaged, and instead opens the door for everyone to feel grounded, capable, and confident at work.

    163. How To Stop Overdoing, And Start Trusting Yourself

    If you’ve been trying to feel confident by overdoing everything this episode is your wake-up call! So many competent professionals fall into the same pattern of overdoing ; overworking, over-preparing, over-delivering, over-checking, and overthinking. And while it works - for a while! In this episode, Anna Manning explores why so many of us rely on overdoing and why that strategy eventually stops working. You’ll learn how to shift from control mode to trust, from effort to more ease - and how real confidence begins not with doing more, but by learning how to trust yourself. ​Why overdoing feels like the safe route to confidence - and how it keeps you stuck​The moment overdoing stops working (and how to recognise it)​Why confidence built on control always has a limit​What it actually means to “trust yourself” at work Want to be more Confident At Work?

    162. When Confidence Gets Tested: Decide How You’ll Handle it Ahead Of Time

    In this episode of Confident at Work, Anna Manning explores a powerful mindset tool for building genuine confidence - deciding ahead of time. Confidence at work isn’t built in the easy moments; it’s built in how you handle the hard ones - after a mistake, failure, or embarrassing moment. Anna explains why waiting until you’re in those situations to decide how to respond often leads to harsh self-criticism, and how choosing your response beforehand can completely change how you lead yourself and strengthen your confidence for the longterm. You’ll learn how to: Strengthen your self-leadership and emotional resilience at work Replace self-doubt and self-criticism with support and accountability Create your own “internal boss” Understand why kindness doesn’t make you complacent, it makes you capable Confidence isn’t about perfection - it’s about how you treat yourself when things don’t go perfectly.
