You’ve Been Thinking About Confidence All Wrong: Here’s 5 Truths You Need To Know w/ Giovanni Dienstmann
Show Notes

This is THE masterclass on building WISE confidence: a balanced middle ground where you are free from incessant self-doubt, fear & imposter syndrome, but also from arrogance and recklessness.


Guest expert is self-discipline coach Giovanni Dienstmann and in this deep and honest conversation, we explore his own story around confidence and the impact of growing up with a narcissistic mother. 


We then discuss a new way to rethink failure, how we should choose consistency over intensity, and the significance of setting boundaries for building confidence, both with others and ourselves. Additionally, we uncover the five pillars of self-confidence and discover practical ways to trick our minds into success.


As you listen, you may find yourself (like me!) scribbling notes, adding post-it reminders, and gaining a fresh perspective on confidence. If you resonate with the content, we invite you to take a moment to leave a rating, review, or share this episode with someone who could benefit from its insights.
