Building Confidence & Overcoming Impostor Syndrome with Nicky Plaskitt [Ep 218]
01 Jan 2024
In the second part of our awesome coversation with Nicky Plaskitt, we delve into a topic that resonates deeply with many of our listeners: overcoming impostor syndrome and growing your confidence in the realm of animal training. We understand that Impostor syndrome can totally be a daunting barrier, often leaving many feeling inadequate and overwhelmed in their journey to become proficient positive reinforcement animal trainers. This feeling is echoed in the recurring discussions among our Animal Training Academy community members, who frequently share their struggles with feeling like an 'impostor' in their field. Therefore I was so excited to have Nicky Plaskitt, a seasoned expert in animal training, join us for this episode to share her invaluable insights on how to cultivate confidence within yourself as a trainer. With years of experience, Nicky is the ideal guide to help us navigate these challenging waters. In our conversation, we cover several key areas. Our goal for 2024 is to help you grow — not just in skills and knowledge, but crucially, in confidence. With this newfound confidence, we want you to have your biggest possible positive impact on the lives of all the animal and human learners you work with in 2024.
