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.
