The Self-Led Leader

You've likely assumed that fixing your confidence, your consistency, or your decision-making each requires its own separate strategy... with a different course, a different coach, a different fix for each bottleneck. But what if all of those "separate" problems are actually coming from the same place?In this episode of The Self-Led Leader, I'm breaking down the biggest performance driver we have: your self-concept. If you've ever wondered where your self-concept actually comes from and how your identity is formed, this is the episode you don't want to miss. We're covering the three sources of influence that change our perspective and decision-making, and why our blind spots often feel like our personality. By the end of this episode, you'll learn to start identifying the experiences that have been shaping your decisions, your risk tolerance, and your results (without your permission). If you've ever felt like you're optimizing everything and still hitting the same wall in a new place, this one's for you.--👩‍💻 Join The Coherence Edit:https://www.skool.com/the-coherence-edit-4804📩 Get in touch:www.christinaaidy.com

Ever finish a conversation thinking something about it was just a little off, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it? That's likely because you were picking up on the other person's non-verbal cues that didn't match what they said to you. Non-verbal cues matter more than your words do - before they happen ALL THE TIME, without you even realizing. But there is a difference between picking up on others' cues and learning to be mindful of your own. When you learn to understand what your own body cues are saying to others, this will help you convey the right message to the person you're speaking with - the message you actually intend to make. This is SO important, especially as a leader or founder, who carries more authority and responsibility in the business.Today's episode is actually from the non-verbal cues module from my Intentional Communication Mastery course, designed specifically to help you communicate with more confidence using psychology and behavioural science.
