The women's network at Tripadvisor and TheFork asked me to do a seminar on confidence, self-esteem, impostor syndrome and other related issues.

We decided to open it up to all employees. Because insecurities don't discriminate based on gender.


I'm yet to meet the person who has never:


-Struggled with self-confidence


-Thought low of themselves when comparing to others


-Been afraid of speaking up or joining meetings


-Been intimidated by others


-Had negative thoughts about themselves



At the basis of it all is your self-belief. Do you believe you are worthy? Good enough? Able enough?



And how do you evaluate the real life evidence in light of your self-belief?



If you've done a good job, how do you see that? 


-"I did well!" 


or


-"That was just dumb luck. Uff, I got away with that one!"



What about mistakes? A lot less luck involved there, I guess... We often find a much bigger personal contribution in our failures than in our successes. 



That's unfair. We don't do ourselves justice.



And that was just the intro to the seminar. I talked for an hour to nearly 200 Tripadvisor and the Fork employees about how you can shift your perception to increase your self-belief.



Contact me if you're interested to know more!
