Episode 26: How to Confidently Own Your Strengths Without Feeling Arrogant

Sep 30

“Confidence is being in full alignment with yourself, it's being able to say no because you know, and you're so secure that this whatever project initiative, launch, collaboration, friendship, or relationship isn't going to serve you. I took a chance on myself because I believe in myself, I took a chance on building a business being in full alignment with my purpose as a mindset coach and speaker.”

- Payal Beri

What’s the difference between confidence and arrogance? In today’s episode, Payal is diving into this important topic. Many people are afraid to share and own their strengths fully because they fear arrogance. They believe that talking about what they’re good at will make them come off as an arrogant know-it-all when that isn’t truly the case. Payal explains the major differences between arrogance and confidence. She discusses how acknowledging, owning, and being proud of your strengths is a great thing. However, she highlights that the key piece of confidence is humility. Payal points out that owning your strengths and being proud of them is as important as acknowledging your weaknesses and hiring in the areas where you’re not an expert. This is a conversation that will help you view imposter syndrome, the fear of competition, and other mindset blocks with a different perspective. Listen up and give yourself the permission to own your strengths proudly while learning the tips necessary to avoid arrogance and remain humble.
