About This Episode

Even the most capable working professionals struggle with self-doubt, costing themselves time, money, opportunities, and their reputations.

This week, we’re featuring one of our favorite episodes from the last two years of the One Next Step podcast. In this episode, BELAY CFO Lisa Zeeveld interviews Tricia Sciortino, BELAY CEO, focusing on her approach to helping leaders harness their grit and trust their gut so they can defeat self-doubt, gain confidence, and make progress on their priorities.

1. Keep adding value. Some people feel stuck in their careers, like no matter what they do they will never get another opportunity. Tricia’s advice? Keep adding value and the next thing will eventually come your way. Look for opportunities to add value and help your leaders. Good leaders will eventually recognize your effort. 

2. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Keep learning and pushing yourself. Too many people focus on the negative. Maybe someone way back in your life told you a lie about yourself and you believed it. They told you that you can’t be more than you are, and that has caused a lot of self doubt. Push beyond the negative, evolve, and focus on your future. 

3. Don’t let your current circumstances define your future. Use it as a fuel to not become what they said you are, and don’t succumb to your environment. You decide what path you take.
