#6 Stop Waiting to Feel Ready - Stephanie Barbour on Building Confidence Through Action
Most people think confidence comes first. That once they feel certain, qualified, or ready enough, they’ll finally say what they want and move toward it. Stephanie Barbour has spent more than 15,000 hours coaching leaders, and she has seen the opposite. Confidence is built after we begin. We name the thing. We claim it. We take one awkward step. Then another. Eventually, action becomes evidence. In this conversation, Stephanie and Courtney explore why it can be so difficult to admit what we want, the subtle ways we interrupt our own momentum, and what changes when we stop waiting for confidence to arrive before we move. Because ready is not a feeling that finds us. It is something we build. Work with Stephanie: https://www.barbourleadership.com
