Do you find yourself constantly seeking approval before making decisions at work? In this transformative episode of Leadership Presence, I tackle the confidence-crushing habit of seeking external validation in the workplace. I share the story of "Tanya," a brilliant executive who remained stuck in perpetual approval-seeking mode, and reveal the four powerful tools that can help you break free from this leadership trap.
In this episode, you will be able to: Learn the difference between gathering valuable feedback and the soul-draining habit of requiring constant approval from others. Discover how to create a self-reference point that grounds you in your own voice before important meetings. Uncover the reward-loop rewiring technique that builds your self-trust muscle even when nobody else is applauding your decisions.
If you're tired of diluting your voice and delaying your impact while waiting for others to validate your worth, this episode offers the roadmap to authentic confidence you've been searching for.
