Anthea talks about how we shrink ourselves metaphorically in our day to day lives - how it impacts us and what we can do to address this common phenomenon.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• First we need to answer the question: are we diminishing our achievements? When someone offers praise, do we downplay it or focus purely on the flaws?
• If we allow ourselves to acknowledge a compliment, no matter how uncomfortable we may feel at the time, it can act as a fantastic motivation tool.
• The act of diminishing ourselves and shrinking isn't exclusive to women - men suffer from it too. The ones who tend to succeed in their goals often have a great support network.

BEST MOMENTS

'Building confidence and a sense of empowerment is at the very heart of what I do'

'The next time you receive praise, limit yourself to a smile and say thank you'

'Are you justifying yourself unnecessarily?'
