This week we go deep into learning all about self-efficacy and spend some time connected it with confidence and our ability to influence ourselves and others. Our ability to do one certainly depends on the others. Our confidence, influence, and social environment form 3 keys underlying components of our self-efficacy that drives our ability to find the focus and motivation to approach challenging tasks. We decide how much focus and motivation we apply to task because we are self determined. Self efficacy helps provide us the much needed focus and motivation to do it well. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michael-thompson69/message

Values are complex things for us to get to the root of, but they're also simple. Because they really defy dissection, they're the things we understand by name alone. When we identify our own values, we take control of our thoughts, emotions, and ultimately our behavior. And that makes us more effective leaders of ourselves and others. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michael-thompson69/message
