    Building Confidence with Values - Melissa Hague & Gayle Tong

    It was fabulous to welcome Melissa Hague back to the Confidence Conversations podcast to explore something that comes up time and time again in coaching and confidence work: values. Melissa shares how values like curiosity, expertise, and home shape how she shows up in life and work, and how they support confidence, even when self-doubt is loud. We talk about what it means to live into your values, how they evolve, and how they can help you hold both confidence and nerves at the same time. If you’ve ever struggled to name your values, to understand how they could work, what they look like in the everyday or wondered how they link to confidence, this one’s for you.”   Love the podcast?

    Series 3 - Wrap Up - With a little help from my friends

    In this final episode of the series I wanted to do something different to celebrate all the Confidence Conversations that I've had with guests.  So I asked my guests to send me a question on their topic that I could give answer, a perspective or an opinion on.   According the AI generated show notes this is what's covered…. "The conversation covers themes such as confidence during midlife, the importance of taking action with vision boards, stepping out of comfort zones, the intrinsic link between courage and confidence, the power of reframing, understanding the inner critic, and achieving a flow state in presentations. Each segment provides insights and practical advice for listeners seeking to enhance their confidence and personal growth." Couldn’t have put it better myself. I'll be taking a break for a while now before series 4, but remember all the previous episodes are still available to listen to. Love the podcast?
