• 164. Confidence for the Many (Not Just a Privileged Few)

  In this episode of Confident at Work, Anna opens up a powerful conversation about who confidence is really for - and why it’s time we stop treating it like something only a privileged few get to have.Drawing on years of coaching, personal experience, and the patterns she sees across workplaces, Anna explores why so many competent professionals still feel like confidence is out of reach. She digs into the invisible barriers faced by people who’ve been historically marginalised or made to feel “other,” and why confidence isn’t a personality trait you either luck into or miss out on - it’s something you can build, nurture, and grow from the inside out.This episode invites you to see confidence as a generational movement: one that challenges the norms that reward the already-advantaged, and instead opens the door for everyone to feel grounded, capable, and confident at work.Want to be more Confident At Work?Start here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠take our free: Confidence Assessment ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get private support to feel confident at work - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠book a call to explore private coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Explore and join the ⁠Confident At Work Membership ⁠Cover art by Jacob McFaddenTheme song by Melissa Carter @ Making Audio Magic

• 162. When Confidence Gets Tested: Decide How You’ll Handle it Ahead Of Time

  In this episode of Confident at Work, Anna Manning explores a powerful mindset tool for building genuine confidence - deciding ahead of time. Confidence at work isn’t built in the easy moments; it’s built in how you handle the hard ones - after a mistake, failure, or embarrassing moment. Anna explains why waiting until you’re in those situations to decide how to respond often leads to harsh self-criticism, and how choosing your response beforehand can completely change how you lead yourself and strengthen your confidence for the longterm. You’ll learn how to: Strengthen your self-leadership and emotional resilience at work Replace self-doubt and self-criticism with support and accountability Create your own “internal boss” Understand why kindness doesn’t make you complacent, it makes you capable Confidence isn’t about perfection - it’s about how you treat yourself when things don’t go perfectly.
