In this episode, we are talking about confidence for adults with ADHD or for that matter confidence building for anyone. Back on the podcast is Alyssa Dver, founder of the American Confidence Institute. Alyssa is one of the leading authorities on the subject of confidence out there today. Confidence is something that allows adults with ADHD to thrive. Many of us struggle with self-doubt, which sometimes gets in the way of being our best selves, especially in our careers or the workplace. When we have confidence, then we can earn the trust of others in the workplace, leadership, clients, and others. And it's an awesome feeling when we can walk into work and be confident. Alyssa starts out by defining confidence in the simplest terms we can all understand. She talks about how lacking confidence can affect us in the workplace and our personal lives. Alyssa discusses with Dave about people who have come up with a breakthrough in building confidence and some of the things they say in how it affected their lives. Dave and Alyssa discussed the barriers to confidence not only in the workplace but in our home environments and some of the challenges we face daily that are disguised as a lack of confidence including some red flags. And Alyssa gives listeners a simple blueprint for starting your journey of building more confidence.

Interview with Alyssa Dver – Alyssa is the CEO at American Confidence Institute & ERG Leadership Alliance. She is passionate about the understanding of the neuroscience behind confidence.

After training 350,000 people, I can confidently say that EVERYONE has some type of confidence challenge. Maybe you are petrified in meetings or God forbid asked to present something. Maybe certain people make you anxious or you're in a relationship or job knowing it's not what they want but your past rejections constantly remind you to just suck the current situation up. And what wears down confidence more is the advice given by so-called experts with their well-intentioned motivational hero stories that only make you feel like even a bigger loser. That's why we're both here. We need a better, more scientific and systematic approach. Because real confidence isn't just about feeling better in a specific situation. It's about BEING confident consistently every time you act, react and interact with everyone. My name is Alyssa Dver and I am the founder and CEO of The American Confidence Institute and a self-proclaimed confidence crusader, neuro nerd and success equalizer. In the Real Confidence podcasts, I'll be demystifying some brain science and exposing social secrets. I want to teach you not just what to do but specifically how and why it impacts confidence - yours and everyone else's. I want you to be so comfy in your skin that you literally radiate confidence so you naturally inspire and have greater impact in all aspects of your life. When you have real confidence, you'll easily do and accomplish the things you really desire and most importantly, you'll be the person you truly and authentically want to be. Sound intriguing? Then tune in, subscribe and be part of the real confidence community. I hope you'll join us to bring more confidence to the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/realconfidence/message

Use brain science to boost your confidence. Ryan Foland speaks with Alyssa Dver, an author, speaker and Chief Confidence Officer at the American Confidence Institute. They dive into the neurology and psychology of confidence. What does real confidence look like? We often think it is simply the opposite to acting insecurely, but Alyssa gives us a new perspective in this episode—real confidence is the ability to stop making everything about you—you are secure and able to go make change happen in the world. But how do you get there? And how to you reach inside yourself and pull out confidence when times get a little rough (like before you get on stage, or during an encounter in a difficult relationship)? The key might come from brain science. Listen to this podcast to find out: - What is happening in our brains when we start feeling insecure. - Why you need to be an expert listener if you want to succeed at speaking. - Three practices you can start today to grow a more robust sense of confidence. - Why we need more empathetic pitching and storytelling (Spoiler: Adapt stories and pitches to the listener.) - Why it has become harder to get paid to speak—and what you can do about it.
