What Does Real Expert Confidence Look Like? (Plot Twist Inside!)
Dudes, bit of a mind-bender here: Real expert confidence isn't about having all the answers. It's actually about being so secure in your expertise that you can say "I have absolutely no clue" without your ego having a meltdown! π€― True expert confidence means being cool with saying "I don't know" when you don't know, sharing your epic fails when it helps people, and admitting you're still learning stuff you teach. It's showing up as a confident expert AND a fellow human who's figuring it out. Real talk - this has been one of the hardest shifts for me. I was raised to be perfect at literally everything (thanks, childhood conditioning! π), and it's only been these past 18 months that I've discovered that REAL expert confidence includes being human and I talk about my shit - mine is not a rags to riches story, mine is how to be a bit of a numpty. I was an expert in Self-Sabotage. But no more. I am an expert in Human Design and how to decondition yourself. That's because I've been there, seen it and done it. And that confidence? Pure gold. When you show expert confidence through authenticity, your clients feel safe to be imperfect too. They see you're a real expert precisely BECAUSE you're honest about your limits. Your confident vulnerability becomes this amazing bridge connecting you to the humans you serve. Expert confidence keeps you growing and models exactly what true expertise looks like: π SECURE ENOUGH TO BE REAL π WISE ENOUGH TO KEEP LEARNING π CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GROW What's your relationship with not knowing everything, you beautiful goose?
