Episode notes
Confidence Is Learned By Modeling
- People learn confidence primarily by modelling others through implicit, bodily learning rather than logical instruction.
- Making that implicit learning conscious speeds it up and helps people adopt new ways of being.
Model Confident Behaviors Daily
- Model concrete behaviours like saying no firmly, asking for what you want, and taking social risks to teach confidence.
- Demonstrate these actions in everyday interactions so others implicitly learn them through you.
Use Contrast And Exaggeration
- Use exaggeration and contrast: try extreme confident and unconfident versions to help the body learn the middle, authentic version.
- Practice finding a healthy, personal confidence rather than copying a superstar wholesale.
