Have you ever felt like self-doubt is quietly steering your career off track?
Whether you're applying for jobs, preparing for an interview, or trying to make authentic connections while networking, your confidence plays a powerful role in how you show up. And if you're like many of the professionals I coach, you might be wondering how to stop that inner voice from saying, “You’re not good enough,” or “You’re not ready yet.”
Today I want to remind you: Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s a skill you build.
In my latest video, I share three simple but powerful tools that can help you take control of your mindset and step into opportunities with clarity and courage:
1. Watch Your Self-Talk
The way you speak to yourself matters. Your thoughts shape your confidence, whether you’re hyping yourself up or tearing yourself down. Try paying attention to your inner dialogue. Would you talk to a friend the way you talk to yourself? If not, it’s time to shift those words into something kinder and more empowering.
2. Preparation Is Power
Walking into a room confidently doesn’t just happen. It’s often the result of doing your homework. Whether you're heading to a networking event or a big interview, take time to prepare. Research. Practice your answers. Plan your talking points. Confidence grows in the space between planning and performance.
3. Visualize the Outcome You Want
As a former actor, visualization was part of my rehearsal process. I imagined myself walking into the audition room, delivering my lines, and getting the callback. That same tool applies to your career. Picture yourself acing the interview, delivering your presentation with ease, or making a great first impression. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined experiences, so use that to your advantage.
Confidence Is Within Reach
You don’t have to feel “ready” to begin. You just need to take that first step.
And if you need support? I’m here to help. Whether you're working on building your confidence, prepping for your next opportunity, or navigating a transition, you can reach me anytime at jasmine@jasminebriggs.com.
