Intentional Self-Concept

Have you ever stepped into a high-stakes situation at work….

Already anticipating that it will be painful or won’t go very well?  

Perhaps you step into:  

➡️ Presentations, with the belief that you’re AWFUL at public speaking and that you’ll probably go red, forget what you meant to say and look like an idiot.

➡️ Negotiations, with the belief that you’re not certain or confident enough and that you’ll probably be too hesitant or say the wrong thing.  

I totally empathize, but I want to point out something REALLY important…. 

You CREATE what you believe about yourself.  

This isn’t some woo-woo magic manifesting statement. It’s simple psychology.  

If you step into a presentation anticipating it will be dangerous (because of a belief that you’re bad at it), your brain will respond by pumping stress hormones around your body.  

Very helpful if you were in ACTUAL danger, not so much in work presentations.  

Perhaps you go red or forget what you meant to say - because your brain is focussed on survival…. and VOILA, you’ve created what you were worried about. 🧙 

So, how do we stop self-sabotaging?!  

Well, one game-changer is to be more INTENTIONAL about your self-concept.  

What you choose to think about yourself and your presentation skills is OPTIONAL. And it has a direct impact on …. your future presentation skills!  

My program walks you through how to change your current self-concept, so let’s chat if you want to learn more about the full process.  

In the meantime, just remember that if progression is your goal, you can’t afford to be unintentional about your self-concept in key skillsets.  

It’s something you build NOW to improve future performance, NOT something that just exists as a consequence of past performance.
