Why is it that people with the least to offer...seem to have the greatest confidence? Meanwhile, those of us with a lot to offer hesitate and overthink our chance to shine? In this creative checkup episode, we'll show you why you're battling an uphill struggle while others with little skill or knowledge are displaying their talents brazenly. By focusing on your own worthiness, you can put things into perspective and show up confidently and authentically...and stop losing opportunities to those who may not be as proficient in their craft. In this episode, you'll discover: The power behind the Dunning-Kruger Effect and how it influences your self-assurance. How to embrace your God-given-confidence by identifying and focusing on your unique talents and strengths. Don't focus on who's doing the most and yet knows the least; focus on the fact that you are loved and that you have something to offer to the world with your creative gift. - Allen C.
