In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions about confidence at work: the idea that if you just prepare enough, you’ll finally feel ready to speak up. Today I’m teaching you why overpreparing doesn’t actually help you feel stronger in the room, and what does. You’ll leave the episode with a deeper understanding of what genuine confidence is made of, and how to access it without having to overprepare every time.
