"Confidence Comes From Not Always Being Right, But From Not Fearing To Be Wrong."
Manage episode 473928383 series 3617662
In this episode of WORDS MATTER, Deanna Ley, The Catalytic Coach, wraps up her powerful six-part confidence series with the most transformational pillar of all—I DID. While confidence begins with belief (I CAN), moves into action (I WILL), deepens through purpose (I MUST), and aligns with identity (I AM), it’s ultimately sustained through one thing: proof.
Deanna invites listeners to stop minimizing their efforts and start honoring their progress. With personal insights and practical tools, she shows you how to use your past victories—not your perfection—as the foundation of lasting confidence. Because when fear and perfectionism try to derail you, your bank of I DID moments will remind you of everything you’ve already overcome.
What Listeners Will Learn:
• Why confidence isn’t built from perfection—it’s built from proof.
• How to stop brushing past your wins and start honoring your growth.
• What kinds of I DIDs are worth anchoring into—and which ones to leave behind.
• How perfectionism chips away at self-trust and how to interrupt that cycle.
• How to use Deanna’s ACE the Day method to reflect, reconnect, and reinforce confidence.
• Simple, practical ways to document your proof and build unstoppable momentum.
Memorable Quotes:
• "Confidence comes from not always being right, but from not fearing to be wrong." — Peter T. McIntyre
• "Confidence doesn’t live in perfection. It lives in courage."
• "Let your reflection be a mirror for your strength, not a scoreboard for your shame."
• "Every time you honored a boundary, told the truth, made a better choice—that is your proof."
• "We don’t need a record of regret. We need a mirror that reflects our strength."
• "Perfectionism convinces you to ignore your own progress and question your enoughness."
• "Fear doesn’t get the final word. Your proof does."
• "ACE the Day is how you turn reflection into confidence, and confidence into momentum."
• "When perfectionism says, 'You didn’t do it right,' your I DIDs say, 'But I DID do it. And that matters.'"
• "Confidence doesn’t require perfection. It requires proof."
