How to speak up with your ideas, even if you're secretly scared you'll sound stupid. [Episode 041]

We're talking about how to speak up with your idea, even if you're secretly scared you'll sound stupid. This is incredibly common!

This impacts everything from sharing your ideas in meetings and reports, even to posting on LinkedIn. "What if they think I'm stupid?" is a super-common bit of self-talk for someone running Imposter Syndrome.

So today we're going to explore how to spot when this is happening, what is going on under the surface, and I want to share with you some really practical step-by-step things you can do, both in-the-moment and on a preventative basis, to speak up feeling confident, losing the fear of 'stupid'.

What you'll discover today:

  • Understanding the fear - unravelling the roots of why we worry about sounding stupid
  • Are you letting your inner perfectionist decide whether you're expert enough?
  • Why 'growth mindset' and learning from your mistakes makes this fear worse - and what you can be doing instead
  • Building your confidence - practical techniques for clearing the fear of sounding stupid
  • What we need to do in organisations to create a genuinely encouraging environment - and it's not about telling people that making mistakes is ok
  • A beautiful native American saying that can help you to feel ok again, even if a plonker is waving their inner critic around in public, telling you you're wrong
