Come and join the conversation with the incredible ball of energy that is Esther Stanhope! For the very first time on the Yes SHE Can Project podcast we are hearing from previous guests about their new projects! For Esther, she has a BRAND NEW book out entitled "Visibly Brilliant".We chat about the premise of the book, from leaders of organisations, entrepreneurs, company execs, Esther is helping people to look good, sound good and most of all FEEL good! As a previous BBC Broadcaster, she is perfectly placed in helping everyone to go from technically brilliant to Visibly Brilliant!Working with people from all walks of life, she helps people step out of their comfort zone and be seen for the expert that they are without feeling uncomfortable doing it. We talk about the mindset shift that's needed to put yourself out there, the worry that sometimes comes along with that and the ways in which you can feel more comfortable with putting yourself forward for opportunities. Esther uses the perfect analogy for putting ourselves to one side instead of having the spotlight on us, thinking of being visible as sharing instead, it really helps to shift your thinking about things, something she said has worked wonders for her clients. She shares her long term strategy of how she helps people find their confidence, citing that it really doesn't matter who you are or what level you're at, we can all take small steps every single day to raising our profiles.All of us at some point have held ourselves back, put barriers in our way when it comes to getting ourselves seen, whether that's speaking in a meeting, writing articles, filming social media videos or hitting post on Linkedin, we can almost talk ourselves out of it! We chat about the importance of having that consistent visibility and setting it into your daily routine. Esther says that building these habits in regularly can be instrumental in building our confidence over time, a tried and tested method she has seen fabulous results for her clients time and time again!Esther shares 10 excuses that we use as reasons to not step out there and be visible, from childhood comments we were told to the internal scripts that we have running around our brain. It was so insightful to hear about the excuses that we use, I found myself nodding along and agreeing to so many of them! She gives some brilliant tips on how we can not just put ourselves in situations where we have to pretend we are this invincible confident person, we can actually show elements of our personality that can be memorable and not only great for building our visibility, but actually fantastic in establishing a trust and personal connection with the people we are speaking to which is so powerful. Esther tells me about naming your negative voice when it creeps in really helps to distinguish between what thoughts are actually true and what is in our mind, her voice of doubt is actually called Cynical Cyril!We chat tips about getting seen, getting promoted, getting speaking gigs and how to build your confidence when it comes to your visibility, and how mindset is the key.Excellent advice, tips and such a fun chat with this wonderful lady!And there's a special surprise at the end!!!!You can buy Esther's new book Visibly Brilliant and check out her website here:https://www.estherstanhope.com/shop/
