Through authority, or something else? And, if authority, is it internal or external authority?What a question!Listen in to hear my exploration, including:When external authority is important in building your confidenceHow to build your internal authorityHow to recognise the authority that others ascribe to youWhy using my ‘brag bag stories’ is a powerful way to build your confidence around your authorityWhy the conversations you have repeatedly are often a source of fabulous authority (even if it seems too obvious to you).>> I would LOVE your help to celebrate 200 episodes of Speaking with Confidence with Cat Matson.
