Squiggly Shortcut: How to Quieten Your Inner Critic

Hello everyone, Sarah here from the Squiggly Careers podcast. This week's squiggly shortcut is about three reframes that are going to help you to cage your confidence gremlins. We all have confidence gremlins. These are the beliefs, fears and doubts that hold us back. in our squiggly career.

They might sound like a fear of failure, I'm not good enough, fear of being found out, comparison, being caught on the spot. There are so many to choose from. And so these reframes are how do you keep these gremlins caged so they don't stop you from doing all the things that you want to do in your squiggly career. So the first reframe is how do we move from can't to can? Our gremlins love a can't.

I can't have hard conversations. So that would be one for me. I have conflict as a gremlin. And as soon as we say we can't do something, it just feels like there's a full stop. There's nothing we can do about it.
