Struggling to feel confident is something most of us (if not all) can relate to.
Why do we all seem to have such a hard time with confidence?
Because far too many of us believe that confidence is something you either have or don't, as though it’s a fixed character trait.
The truth? Confidence is a skill.
Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment, Blake welcomes Nicole Kalil, an in-demand speaker, leadership strategist, respected coach, and host of the “This Is Woman’s Work” Podcast. She has a passion for eliminating gender expectations by redefining “Woman’s Work” and helping women build confidence while providing actionable tools to develop the skill of confidence building.
In this episode, you’ll hear about the “confidence con,” the lie we’ve been told about confidence, and how you can start to dismantle it. You’ll uncover the true definition of confidence and start to recognize how it has been shaped by the masculine-forged business environment. You’ll also hear about the 5 Confidence Builders, actionable ways that can help you develop it as a skill and walk the path toward greater self-awareness.
“Real confidence is something that permeates all aspects of your life and doesn't just live in one place.”
If you’re ready to start building your confidence skills and gain a deeper understanding of who you truly are, then this episode is for you.

Favorite Quotes:
1. There's a lot of advice about how to build confidence that’s very surface-level and doesn't actually last. But, if you can understand how to build confidence from a deep understanding of who you are, it's a complete and utter game-changer. –Blake
2. The way that it looked on the outside was not how it felt on the inside. I was lonely. I was spending all weekend waiting for a Monday morning to come so I could have purpose again. –Nicole Kalil
3. A lot of the things that stop us from being our authentic selves stop us from being the vulnerable leaders that actually inspire people. -Blake
4. Real confidence is something that permeates all aspects of your life and doesn't just live in one place. –Nicole Kalil
5. It's great to achieve. It's wonderful to get complimented. It's great when somebody comes along and validates your work. But all those things should be icing on the confidence cake, not the cake itself. –Nicole Kalil
