#79 - Jo Emerson - How to Ooze Confidence & Conquer Rejection

Jo Emerson is a confidence and human behaviour expert, a former BBC journalist and the international executive coach of the year. 

We were lucky enough to sit down with Jo and pick her brains and expertise about confidence. A broad topic that we’ve all struggled with at one point in our lives. 

And we couldn’t have spoken to a better guest about this topic. Jo was so informative and giving in her responses that we personally learnt so much from.  

We chatted about where confidence comes from and why it it so easily broken down and taken away from us. Along with the challenges we face in the world and why now more than ever so many people lack it. But Jo has a beautiful view on it and how we can begin building it back up with simple steps and finding our place in the world. 

We discussed the difference between confidence and arrogance and why we often mistake the two. And how so many people fall into the trap of chasing materialism and believing it will lead to confidence. Jo quickly shut it down and explained that confidence truly comes from the inside. 

We talked about the fear of rejection and the fear of public speaking and why this is so common. She shared some amazing tips to overcome them which we found so useful as neither of us had heard some of these perspectives before. 

Jo shared her personal story of how she began coaching which was incredibly touching. She shared the numerous hardships she faced in her life including losing a friend to suicide and making the brave decision to leave her marriage while having three young daughters. 

It doesn’t matter where you are currently in life, what you do or how you feel about yourself, this episode will have something for you.
