How to Build Confidence When You’re Afraid to Be Seen

Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait

Show Notes

In this live coaching session, Lisa Quait speaks with Lara Giusti, Head Chef & Product at Veloforte.

Lara is comfortable talking about the products she has helped create, teaching others and sharing the purpose behind the brand. But being visible as the person behind that success - on camera, in meetings or in a room full of peers - brings a very different kind of pressure.

Together, Lisa and Lara explore why it can be so hard to recognise our own achievements, the fear of feeling like an impostor, and how we can start building confidence without having to become louder or someone we are not.

They discuss the power of celebrating your wins, remembering the journey that brought you here, and creating a simple mantra for the moments when self-doubt takes over.

If you know you are capable but struggle to believe you deserve to be seen, this conversation is for you. To explore 1-to-1 coaching with Lisa, click here.
