Turning self-doubt into a strength
Rather than fight against or judge our self-doubt, author and Forbes publisher Rich Karlgaard argues that we can use such feelings as a place to start thinking about the steps we can take to achieve our goals. How can we start? Talk to yourself, Karlgaard suggests. Objective self-talk, when we advise ourselves the way we’d advise a friend, can help us develop a sense of self-efficacy, the feeling that we are capable of performing the necessary tasks to succeed.

This is so true. From an Internal Family Systems perspective, this is on point. Moreover, that self-talk is often with the manager and protective parts of ourselves who seek to protect and keep us safe but failing in their attempts by often keeping us small or avoiding opportunities that could be very beneficial for us.?By creating a relationship with those parts of ourselves and helping to unburden them from the worry or fear they possess, we can learn deep insights about ourselves, propel ourselves forward and step into "SELF" leadership. We have begun to use this in our work with corporate executives and leaders to find that it helps to increase the benefits of executive coaching. Even when working with leaders who are said to demonstrate "bad behaviors," we are seeing an ability get to the heart of what they're fearful of and help them to develop more self-leadership to heal and unburden the parts of themselves that drive their behaviors. Thanks for sharing my friend.??
