In this episode, “The Power of Self-Efficacy”, Bridgette highlights the importance of self-efficacy and what it means to believe in yourself. Bridgette introduces the topic of self-efficacy, the belief in one's capacity to accomplish tasks. Self-efficacy was first proposed by Albert Bandura in 1977 and is a key predictor of behavior change. Self-efficacy influences goals, energy, and likelihood of success. Bridgette shows examples of self-efficacy in practice through the self-efficacy theory (SET), which has influenced various fields, including health psychology, education and sociology. Bridgette provides examples of applications: self-management of chronic diseases, smoking cessation, alcohol use, eating, pain control, and exercise. As a devoted entrepreneur, Bridgette shows readers how self-efficacy is the secret sauce for achieving dreams. In a fast-paced business world, it's easy to doubt ourselves. Self-efficacy is the inner voice that pushes us to push beyond our limits. Believing in our abilities makes us resilient and unstoppable. Research shows that when we believe in our abilities, we take on challenges with resilience. Florence Scovell Shin and Dr. Jordan Peterson's wisdom aligns with self-efficacy and faith; Bridgette is a firm believer in using outside sources to help fine-tune and better understand us. She believes that when we combine faith, belief, and philosophy, we become unstoppable.
