Career Contessa

In theory, we understand that channeling your inner superhero will help you get ahead both professionally and personally. However, in practice, confidence can sometimes elude the strongest of us. There’s a lot of advice about “not being afraid to ask for what you want” but how do you actually do that? How does one build the confidence to ask for what you want especially among uncertainty when you really don’t have control of an outcome? That’s why I invited career and life coach, Leigha May, to give us actionable takeaways for not letting impostor syndrome rule our days.   Weekly Newsletter Sign-Up: http://bit.ly/37hqtQW Follow Career Contessa: http://bit.ly/2TMH2QP   The Confidence Crunch: https://bit.ly/3efA8MU Leigha May Website: https://bit.ly/3w3W5rV Leigha May Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PngkaV Leigha’s 30-day Confidence Challenge: https://bit.ly/3plY7j9   Sponsors: Sabio: https://bit.ly/3PgtypR Alto: https://bit.ly/3JRySPh ZocDoc: https://bit.ly/3CqYl0d   NetSuite: https://bit.ly/3QUCT7P       Produced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
