How Confidence Works episode
Thank you Anna for this episode. It was good to hear from Professor Robertson how flat out alluring ‘having confidence’ is, which can lead to people being over-confident, in order to get the status, the influence, the powers of persuasion. Brilliant question of yours too about how, if some men can be more guilty of over-confidence at times, did he have any advice for men here? Which was thought-provoking and led to him providing extra insight which won’t be in the book - and is what excellent podcasts can provide. Thanks and well done you, another brilliant one today!
Episode 1: Change Makers
Fantastic first episode Anna!! The breakdown of action points, with associated infographic, is a brilliant way to encourage growth.
A good listen
Love listening to this series and the interview with Gail Kelly is my fav to date. Keep up the good work Anna. Fiona, NZ
