The Truth About Confidence, Competence, and CalmIn this episode, I’m talking about the real truth behind three words that are at the heart of The Social Work Collective Academy: Confidence, Competence, and Calm.These aren’t just buzzwords – they’re the foundation for thriving in your first year as a social worker. I’m breaking down why confidence is often misunderstood (especially through a gendered lens), why competence is the key that so many new social workers are missing, and why calm is about regulation – not silence.You’ll hear reflections, practical insights, and a bit of storytelling (yes, there's a Grease reference), plus how these values are built into every aspect of the Academy.Whether you're newly qualified or still studying, this episode will help you rethink what it means to feel ready for practice.🎧 Tap play and let’s get into it.Lets connect!To book in a free 15 minute chat with me, to talk about training, development, courses or membership email
