52. How To Grow In Confidence and Humility in 2022

Do you remember the story about the tortoise and the hare? It’s that classic tale of a rabbit who was so confident in his abilities that he ended up snoozing and losing to the turtle who should have lost by a landslide. Of course, being confident in your ability isn’t a bad thing, but when it leads to stopping you in your tracks, it’s time to change your perspective. Join us this week as we dive into the concept of confident humility and how you can learn this vital skill for yourself. Just like the rabbit, we as people can have overconfidence in one area or another, this can lead to stagnation, tension in relationships, and even missing out on something big. Today we go over the practices and mindsets you can instill to make sure that you never stop growing and learning.  Listen in as we talk about the importance of finding what true confidence is and how the strength of humility can accelerate your growth and knowledge. You’ll hear how scientists stay at the top with cognitive flexibility, how to spot false confidence, why differing opinions might actually strengthen your own, and the importance of being humble in all that you do. If you want to be a highly effective person then learning confident humility is a great place to start.  For more resources or to connect with us in our private Facebook group, check out the links below!
