I was just coaching a client who was feeling really anxious. 

She was worried about an upcoming internal review.

Her fear was that they didn’t think she’s a good fit for the team.  

Her ultimate fear was the humiliation she would feel if she was let go. 

Can you...

Just a reminder that if you have BIG goals…

You can expect to feel BIG emotions. 

Don’t let that stop you.  

When I was going for partnership, I was feeling a LOT.

• Fear of rejection.
• Anxiety about whether I was good enough.
• Awkwardness in dreaded networking...

Quick question…

Does your firm know you want that promotion? 

Or are you keeping silent about your ambitions for the time being?

Hear me out. 

What the hell does ‘good enough’ even mean? 

In my legal...

Do you struggle with being indecisive? 

• Should I buy that thing or the other thing?
• Should I say something or not?  
• Should I stay or leave my current job?

Perhaps you try to make your decision by thinking through every possible eventuality, but instead of feeling clear,...

Just a quick reminder that if you struggle with self-doubt or imposter syndrome, there is almost ZERO benefit to comparing yourself to your colleagues. 

Your brain will just get to work pointing out all the ways they are smarter or more confident or ‘further along’ than you....

Do you worry about being seen as ‘arrogant’? 

You want to be more confident at work …. but not OVER-confident. 

You’d like to find the perfect balance between showing-up as an assertive, self-confident person AND being viewed as humble, self-aware and NEVER one...

Do you ever avoid giving ‘difficult’ feedback because you feel bad?
