In this episode, we discuss;
Fiona takes us right back to when she left the UK to work in Italy at just 18, and how that experience helped shape her confidenceThat everything you do, is going to contribute to who you become, and what you end up doingIf you’re going to take the time to study anything, make sure it’s something that you love!How Fiona has created unique offerings in her business, one such example being that of Retirement CoachingHow being made redundant can significantly impact your confidence, and how reframing the language around that experience can helpFiona’s experience of working with individuals with HIV and Aids, and how angry she had become about the judgment she was witnessing at the timeWe hear all about Fiona’s 23 years of caring for her mother, who sadly died in her nursing home during the first wave of Covid We take a short detour into understanding what coaching is, and isn’t, and why it’s important to know this if you’re thinking of investing in a coachFor the first time on the podcast we openly discuss the pandemic and how we collectively experienced the challenges it has broughtThe struggle of transitioning her face to face business on to an online platform during the pandemic and the lack of confidence Fiona experienced using technologyTowards the end of the episode we find our way to discussing death, and how critical it is to have the confidence to discuss death with our loved onesAt times this episode hits some incredibly hard hitting, but real life issues that all three of us agree aren’t being discussed enough. There’s silence in places, as we process and contemplate how to take the conversation forward. Fiona shares very recent and real examples of losses she has experienced, and how she has managed to keep moving forward. 
It was a genuine privilege to hold a space for this conversation. Fiona is lighthearted, funny, and has so many wonderful stories to listen to. There is so much to take from this episode, perhaps not specifically about confidence, maybe more about life.

Hey Everyone,
In today's episode, we are joined by Jo Rawbone. Jo officially “discovered” she was an introvert when she completed a Myers Briggs profile in 1989. She’d always known that she was different from many of her peers, friends, and family and now she knew why. But whilst this enhanced her self-awareness, it didn’t give her the tools to manage being an introvert in a world that is largely biased towards extroverts.
Jo’s personal experience throughout her more than 26 years as a trainer and consultant, working with thousands of international clients afforded her the opportunity to witness just how problematic this bias can. Thus, began a mission: to champion the cause of introverts and promote positive action to address the ‘extraversion bias’, a mission that took her to the TEDx stage in 2019. 
In this episode, we talk about:
How Jo became mad enough to start her mission of helping introverts flourishWe explore what an introvert is, and the many myths and misconceptions about what it actually means to be an introvertJo shares that in her experience of supporting introverts it’s incredibly common to hear a statement we hear a lot on the show, “I’m just not a confident person”The topic of fear shows up and Jo shares her equation for managing fear in order to take actionThe story of how Jo came to name her inner critic and her inner advocate and how this has supported her own growth and developmentWhat it means to be an introvert in a world that expects everyone to speak up and say what they are thinkingWe hear Jo use some incredible language to describe the work she does including the idea of being a “Corporate Disruptor”The decades of people being told they need to be someone else or something different, and how that may have led to countless individuals struggling to be themselvesThe difference between, acting as if, vs. faking it until you make and how this relates to confidenceHow Jo supports teams and individuals to understand where the boundaries and edges of their comfort zones are in order to develop and improve What a fascinating episode, we hold no boundaries when it comes to where our conversations take us, and this episode is no different. There is so much to learn and take from this episode, whether you can relate to being an introvert or not, this episode has something for us all to learn and take away.
