Welcome to our special live podcast! At the recent Unite24 conference in London we were asked to come along and record a live special episode, with audience questions. In this episode we tackle the subject of confidence, specifically for those working in the internal communication, employee engagement or employee experience industry.

We discuss the importance of defining the difference between self-esteem and confidence, the importance of how we speak to ourselves and what you can do to help you get that extra boost when you need it.

In this episode, Jenni, Trudy, and Advita delve into how to build self-esteem and understand it further.

Imposter syndrome often means that we feel like we're frauds, we feel like we don't belong, we feel like we shouldn't get the job. And one day we're going to be found out! But is imposter syndrome a helpful label that stops us from exploring things deeper?

Is it your confidence or your self-esteem that needs to be focussed on? Are your feelings based on your perception, environment, or other external factors?

Do you think you have high or low self-esteem?

Listen along to this episode to help you with identifying those questions.
