294: Confidence Conundrums and Attention Budgets with Terri Trespicio
Category: Business
Duration: 00:43:10

Description:

“Creativity is a muscle, not a metric.” If you hold back because you’re afraid of feedback, you won’t have a life infused with creativity. After all, your attention budget is limited, so where do you want to spend it? 

My friend Terri Trespicio is joining me today (in person!) to talk about navigating compliments and criticism, keeping our creative muscles strong, and slowly but surely building confidence along the way.

More About Terri: Terri Trespicio is an award-winning writer, speaker, brand advisor, and author of Unfollow Your Passion: How to Create a Life That Matters to You (Atria / Simon & Schuster, December 2021). Her TEDx talk Stop Searching for Your Passion has more than 7 million views, and Hubspot named her one of the Top 18 female speakers who are killing it.


3 Key Takeaways:

  • If you can’t trust yourself, trust your audience — see what it feels like to be warm, open, connected, and vulnerable. This can go a long way in terms of how confident you feel and appear.
  • Uncouple wanting something from the idea of missing or lacking something. You can desire without coveting, and that wanting keeps us striving. 
  • Having an intermediary can help you hold boundaries, especially when you know you may be likely to negotiate yourself down.

 

Next Action: Hit publish on something (anything!) even if you’re not fully confident in it yet, giving yourself the chance to be surprised.
