When Confidence Unlocks Performance at Work

You've got the CV. You've got the LinkedIn endorsements (from people you once met at a conference buffet). You've got the Zoom fatigue medal of honour.

And yet—when the pressure's on, something falters. Not the strategy. Not the spreadsheets. The bit between your ears.

As Spenny (who happens to be very, very tall) once told me:

"I had the ability, but my mind was the only thing holding me back. Once I trained it, everything else took off. Hoops, life, even the fun stuff."

Turns out, it's not height that makes you stand taller on the court or in the boardroom—it's confidence you can actually lean on.

Here's something you can use in the moment:

Next time doubt barges in during a high-stakes meeting, plant both feet on the floor, breathe out longer than you breathe in, and silently say: I'm steady. I'm here.

That micro-reset sends your system the memo: I've got this.

Because unlike emails, doubts don't disappear with "delete." They need help, we all do. And once you do find the right fit, the lift is taller than Spenny.

With you,
Isabelle.

Happiness Iz… Being Kind to Your Own Mind.
