How Adaptability Is Your Secret Weapon In Building Super Strong Self-belief [Self-Belief Limited Series 7 of 12]
Life never goes according to plan – and that's exactly why adaptability is one of the most crucial ingredients in building deep rooted confidence. In this episode, I talk about the ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react mindlessly when things inevitably shift.In this episode: Why adaptability matters more than IQ – Research shows flexibility has a higher correlation to long-term success than intelligence.The difference between reacting and responding – and why that pause between trigger and action is where your power lives.Why waiting to "feel confident" keeps you stuck – I lovingly call bullshit on the idea that confidence comes before action.Practical tools including:The "even if" practice that separates your identity from outcomesHow to create space between challenging moments and your responseReal-world examples from navigating massive change at TwitterTwo things can exist at the same time: feeling scared/unprepared AND still showing up fully. Adaptability is about trusting yourself to figure things out as you go, not having all the answers upfront.Perfect for anyone who's ever said "I'll do that when I feel more confident" or wants to build inner strength that travels with you regardless of circumstances.Part of my self-belief framework series – seven core capacities that help you build confidence from the inside out.
