Podcasts about confidence building

Is your child's love for hockey fading?

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the importance of play in childhood and how it shapes children's self-worth and resilience. Highlighting a recent statement by Senator Lincoln Fillmore, Dr. Kathy reflects on the nostalgic view of childhood, emphasizing the shift from unstructured play to a more programmed and supervised environment. Fillmore argues that this change is hindering children's development of crucial life skills such as perseverance and self-confidence. The episode dives into the balance between safety and the necessity of allowing children the freedom to explore, learn, and grow independently. Join us for valuable insights on fostering independence in children and the critical role of play in their development.

What if the root of your stress isn't your workload—but your identity? In this soul-stirring episode of Soul Fusion, Penny Chiasson explores the silent epidemic of spiritual disconnection in a world obsessed with productivity, perfectionism, and performance. She asks a bold question: What if your stress is coming from living a life that was never truly yours? You'll hear how subconscious beliefs formed in childhood create identity-level blocks and why surface-level self-care practices like journaling and yoga often aren't enough. Penny shares how Soul Connection Sessions, now offered by her certified graduate Tina using the Remember Method, help uncover your true path and release the false identities keeping you stuck. If you feel exhausted even when doing “everything right,” this episode will help you understand what your body, soul, and subconscious have been trying to tell you all along. What You'll Learn: Why your stress may stem from spiritual misalignment—not your to-do list How subconscious survival patterns sabotage your connection with self Why affirmations and meditation don't always resolve the root cause What happens in a Soul Connection Session—and why it's not “woo” How to know if your identity has been shaped by fear, people-pleasing, or past pain Powerful Client Insight Shared: One client asked her soul why she kept getting nudges about a career move. The answer? “Follow the intuitive hit we have been giving you for two years, everything else has been taken care of.” She finally trusted herself—and days later, she landed a new job with a higher salary and a shorter commute.   Resources & Links: ✨ Book a Soul Connection Session Uncover the deeper spiritual reasons behind your challenges and reconnect with your soul's guidance.

Two powerful forces that are often overlooked—and what everyone wants, when you walk into a room, when you hop on a Zoom call, or pitch an idea: ✨ Confidence and Passionate Energy

What to listen for:“I don't just pet them, I go, ‘this is why you train the way you train, remember that'”Today, two-thirds of the Dames of Detection, Stacy Barnett and Crystal Wing, welcome back obedience trainer Petra Ford to talk about why she believes in a “you do you” approach to dog training.When her dog Zesty dropped eye contact during their first championship run, instead of demanding compliance, Petra simply said, "You do you,” acknowledging that forcing the moment would only add pressure to an already exhausted dog. This mindset shift from control to partnership transformed what could have been a frustrated correction into a moment of trust.Petra's approach challenges conventional wisdom at every turn. While others proof their dogs by setting them up to fail, she builds confidence by making her dogs right. When Zesty struggled with imperfect fronts just weeks before nationals, instead of drilling precision, Petra threw parties for effort. "Close enough, here's a cookie" became her mantra because she understood that confidence creates precision, not the other way around.This path hasn't been easy. Training in isolation, facing constant scrutiny, Petra has walked the lonely road of positive reinforcement in a sport increasingly dominated by punishment. But her results speak louder than critics: three different dogs, multiple championships, all trained through partnership rather than dominance.Petra encourages trainers to ask themselves, "Would I want to be my own teammate?" She treats her dogs as partners, not tools—reading their communication, respecting their limits, and celebrating their individuality. When the pressure mounts and 130 dogs compete for 20 spots, she doesn't add stress. Instead, she becomes her dog's safe space.Trust, not force. Not "do it my way," but simply: "you do you." Key Topics:Mental Management Under Championship Pressure (01:40)The "You Do You" Philosophy in Action (10:00)Building Confidence vs. Creating Pressure (16:31)Training Two Opposite Dogs Successfully (23:09)Walking the Path Less Traveled Alone (26:02)About Petra's Podcast and Other Resources (40:14)Petra's Message to the Next Generation of Dog Trainers (47:38) Resources:Petra Ford on FENZIPetra Ford on FacebookPetra's podcast, Canine ConnectionWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Send us a textWhat if the court was the first place a girl learns to say "no"?In this deeply moving and inspiring episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, we sit down with legendary educator, coach, and mentor Jeff Lamb, whose 48-year career has shaped the lives of thousands of young women through the world of sports. But this isn't just a conversation about volleyball or basketball, this is about how sports become the first safe space where girls learn confidence, boundaries, and self-leadership.From his humble beginnings accidentally stepping into girls' volleyball coaching to being honored as California State Athletic Director of the Year and receiving the CIF Model Coach Award, Jeff's journey is a masterclass in mentorship. He shares powerful stories of transformation of girls who walked into the gym shy, scared, unsure of themselves and left four years later with a voice, a sense of purpose, and unshakable belief in their own power.Whether you're a parent of a daughter, a coach, educator, or mentor, or a woman healing her inner teenager, this episode will remind you that the field, the court, the team, it's never just a game. It's where resilience is built, emotional intelligence is taught, and self-worth is discovered.We also explore:The impact of Title IX and why access to sports still isn't fully equalHow girls and boys respond differently to coaching and why that mattersWhy emotional safety and honest mentorship are key to lasting confidenceWhat it means to lead from within even if you're quiet or unsureHow daily habits, consistency, and positive self-talk shape long-term leadership?You'll leave this episode with a new perspective on what sports really teach girls and why that may be the foundation for how they show up in life, relationships, and leadership.Coach Jeff also shares timeless wisdom on parenting, emotional resilience, and the quiet moments that shape a person's character. His message is clear.. You don't need to be loud to lead. You just need to start.

In this episode, I chat with the founder and managing director of WOW Saddles: David Kempsell. WoW is a revolutionary saddle brand known for its fully adjustable, modular design that supports both horse and rider through every stage of development and performance. We dive into the inspiration behind WoW, the technology that sets it apart (like carbon fiber trees, Flair air flocking, and interchangeable seats and panels) and how this system helps improve comfort, movement, and balance. I've personally ridden in WOW Saddles for over 10 years and have always appreciated their adjustability, comfort, and unique look. Saddle fit is such a personal and important part of horse welfare, and when you find something that works, it's a huge relief. This episode isn't sponsored, I simply love talking about things I genuinely use and believe in. If you're curious about saddle fitting, have a tricky horse to fit, or are tired of trialling saddles that never quite work, you'll enjoy this conversation!  

What to listen for:"I care about my dog's emotional state, how they're feeling, and how confident they are. And I work on that a lot."Two-thirds of the Dames of Detection, Stacy Barnett and Crystal Wing, sit down with obedience trainer Petra Ford, who unpacks the importance of seeing dogs as individuals, not assumptions!Real progress, she says, starts when you stop correcting and start connecting.Petra shares how letting go of labels like “nervous” transformed her relationship with her dog Zeal—and how trainers often project past experiences onto new dogs without realizing it. She encourages slowing down and objectively observing, not assuming. Each dog deserves to be seen for who they are, not who came before them.Through her work with a neurologically atypical dog, Petra developed calming strategies rooted in deep pressure, similar to techniques used for autistic children. These evolved into arousal “thermostat” cues that help her dogs self-regulate and perform with clarity and joy.Petra's training is driven by curiosity and persistence. She doesn't rely on recipes—she adapts, explores, and adjusts until the dog understands. Whether teaching a front or building confidence under ring pressure, her dogs learn through games, not grind. They don't just perform on command—they actually want to succeed, themselves.At the core of Petra's philosophy is respect: for the dog's emotional state, for their individuality, and for the bond they share. Titles may come, but the real reward is the connection.Because in the end, as Petra reminds us, training isn't about forcing the dog to meet our goals. The best trainers don't mold the dog to fit the plan—they mold the plan to fit the dog.Key Topics:Reframing "Nervous" Dogs and Letting Go of Labels (06:46)Using Deep Pressure for Emotional Regulation (14:21)Teaching Arousal Cues and Emotional Balance (16:58)Fitness, Recovery, and Mental Breaks (21:58)The Art of Adapting Your Training Strategy to the Dog (33:07)Why Listening to the Dog Matters Most (36:21)Creating Joy in Precision: Obedience as Play (41:10)Working Through Pressure, Not Against It (42:57)From Zero Confidence to Mental Mastery (49:45)Resources:Petra Ford on FENZIPetra Ford on FacebookJane Savoie - It's Not Just About the Ribbons: It's About Enriching Riding (and Life) with a Winning Attitude (affiliate link)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Career success takes a status boost, not a power grab.How do you chart the career course you've always imagined? According to Alison Fragale, it's about gaining influence through status, power, and ultimately, being “a likeable badass.”As a research psychologist, professor, speaker, and author, Fragale is on a mission to help women take control of their careers. In her book Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve, she argues that most people have it backwards when pursuing career advancement. "We have talked for a long time [about] getting more power," she explains. However, by focusing first on achieving status (how respected we are), power will often come as a natural byproduct. "If you pursue status before, or at least alongside power, everything is going to fall into place," she says. “Status makes power a lot easier to achieve, and it makes power a lot easier to use.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, hosted by executive producer Jenny Luna, Fragale explores the communication strategies of a likeable badass, from building warmth and assertiveness to authentically connecting with colleagues. Whether you're building relationships in a new company or have been leading one for years, Fragale's insights will help you command respect while communicating with kindness.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Alison FragaleAlison's Book: Likeable BadassJenny LunaEp.12 It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: How To Communicate PowerEp.15 The Art of Negotiation: How to Get More of What You Want  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - Defining Power and Status (05:26) - Why Status Comes Before Power (06:19) - Communication Techniques to Build Status (09:27) - Evaluating Your Habits: Nonverbal and Verbal Cues (11:21) - Mentorship in Developing Communication (13:13) - Adapting to a New Work Culture (18:41) - Representing Difference Without Distance (19:49) - Overcoming Bad First Impressions (21:47) - The Final Three Question (25:32) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

In today's world, personal branding isn't just for business owners – it's for everyone. Whether you're applying to college, building a career, leading a team, or simply figuring out your next move… your personal brand is what sets you apart. It's how people remember you, refer you, and recognize your potential—even when you're not in the room. Dr. Carmen Bell-Ross is an educator, leadership development expert, and the founder of SP Grace. Through her College Smarter Method and professional development programs, she helps people – from teens to executives – build confidence, get clear on who they are, and show up with purpose in high-stakes spaces. Your Story Is Your Strategy Whether you're leading a team, applying for a role, or stepping into your next chapter, personal branding helps you connect the dots between where you've been and where you're headed. Dr. Carmen shares how clarity around your values, strengths, and experiences creates a personal “X Factor” that makes you memorable, relatable and unmistakably you. Confidence Comes from a Plan Most people feel stuck not because they're unqualified but because they don't have a clear path forward. Dr. Carmen's approach helps individuals take ownership of their next step with a customized roadmap rooted in self-awareness and strategic positioning. When you know who you are and what you stand for, everything else falls into place with more ease and confidence. Enjoy this episode with Dr. Carmen Bell-Ross… Soundbytes 14:41 - 14:58 “That X factor is kind of like your own personal secret sauce. It's like a personal little recipe. And so people can taste it and go, hmm, that's good, but it's missing something. And then you just sprinkle that secret sauce, and it just elevates it. So that X factor is an essential piece.” 27:43 - 27:53 “The introduction of AI has been hugely game-changing. And so the world has to change to keep up. We have to change, and we have to be able to flow with where that goes.” 28:23 - 28:41 “It's okay to be in a super competitive environment, and that's what the goal is. It's fine if you go to the Olympics; the Olympics are super competitive. But the thing is, if you've trained for the Olympics, yes, you're ready when you get there, so you are competitive too.” Quotes “I'm always teaching people how much easier it would be for us to get things done if we extended each other a little bit more grace.” “Just be honest with yourself, because then you could be genuine, and you could be authentic.” “Stop and ask yourself why you're actually in this role. Do you actually care about the success of the people that you're leading?” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://spgrace.com/elevate/  Connect with Dr. Carmen Bell-Ross on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-carmen-bell-ross-9378467/  Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends!   In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews Trang Nova, a renowned speaker and speaking coach, who shares her inspiring journey from physiotherapy to empowering entrepreneurs and business owners to harness the power of effective communication. Trang discusses common challenges her clients face—including public speaking anxiety, team leadership, and building personal brands—and emphasizes that 93% of a message's impact lies in its delivery rather than just words. She outlines her approach to mindset, articulation, and vocal presence, and offers compelling case studies of clients who have achieved remarkable business growth through improved speaking skills. Trang also shares a practical tip: record and review your own speaking to uncover opportunities for impactful improvement. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Your Voice Is a Business Asset: Effective communication isn't just a soft skill—it directly impacts your ability to lead, sell, and influence. Learning to use your voice with clarity and confidence can elevate your brand and business. 93% of Communication Is Non-Verbal: Trang emphasizes that how you say something—your tone, pace, body language, and energy—has a far greater impact than the words themselves. Delivery drives trust, authority, and connection. Mindset Shapes Your Message: Many entrepreneurs struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Building the confidence to be seen and heard is foundational to becoming a compelling communicator and leader. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Tailor Your Speaking Style: There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Trang works with clients individually to help them refine their unique speaking style—whether that means slowing down, speaking up, or pausing more intentionally. Leadership Requires Clear Communication: Business owners who lead small teams must learn to communicate with a balance of warmth and authority. Mastering hard conversations and motivational messaging is crucial for team growth. Practice with Purpose: Trang recommends a simple but powerful exercise: record a 2-minute video of yourself speaking and review it after a day. This builds self-awareness and helps you identify key areas to improve delivery and presence.   One action small business owners can take: According to Trang Nova, one action a small business owner should take is to record a 2-minute video of themselves speaking—whether introducing their business or sharing a story — and watch it the next day to identify areas for improving clarity, confidence, and delivery.

As parents, how do we raise our kids to be resilient against life's inevitable hardships? Good Inside author Dr. Becky Kennedy shares her insights here!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1163What We Discuss with Dr. Becky Kennedy:Boundaries are what parents tell kids they will do — not what kids must do. "If you're not off the couch by the time I get there, I'll pick you up" works better than threats or punishments that require kid compliance.Optimizing for happiness in childhood creates fragility in adulthood. Kids who avoid hard feelings never learn they can handle disappointment, jealousy, or failure — leaving them with a narrow range of emotions they feel capable managing.Parents have two jobs: setting boundaries and validating emotions. These aren't opposites — they work together. Set the limit, then acknowledge their feelings: "You really wish you could keep jumping on the couch.""Do nothing" is often the best parenting strategy. It's mindful restraint — choosing not to react in the moment when kids are upset. This prevents escalation and models emotional regulation better than immediate correction.Build confidence by letting kids struggle through puzzles, conflicts, and challenges. Tell them: "The best feeling is when you think you can't do something, then watch yourself make progress." Struggle builds capability.And much more...And if you're game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

They explore the core impacts of outdoor education, including confidence building and connection with nature, while also addressing the need to shift perspectives on risk and challenge. The discussion culminates in a vision for the future of outdoor education that emphasizes reducing barriers and enhancing learning experiences through outdoor spaces.   Outdoor education should be accessible to all, not just the adventurous few. Experiential learning is key to achieving educational outcomes. Confidence, connection, and skill development are core impacts of outdoor education. The focus should be on creating meaningful experiences, not just flashy adventures. Leadership development is best achieved in low-risk environments. Facilitators should allow discomfort to foster learning opportunities. The situational leadership model can enhance group dynamics.
