206. Fixed vs Growth Mindset and Confidence at Work

Episode 206

Monday, October 5, 2026 • Duration 09:05

What is the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how does your mindset affect confidence at work?

In this episode, we explore how fixed and growth mindset can influence workplace confidence, particularly when you make mistakes, receive difficult feedback, try something new or get something wrong.

You'll learn:

The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset and what each looks like in the workplace
How a fixed mindset can turn a mistake or difficult experience into a judgement about your ability and impact your confidence
Why low confidence, perfectionism and unrealistic expectations can reinforce a fixed mindset
What growth mindset at work actually looks like in real-life situations
How to use fair evaluation to assess your performance

A simple way to shift from “I'm just rubbish at that thing” to “What happened, and what can I learn?”
How this can help you build self-trust, resilience and confidence at work

This isn't about pretending everything went well or telling yourself you're brilliant at everything.

It's about learning to evaluate yourself fairly, understand what happened, take the learning - and move forward!

205. Why Do I Feel Anxious at Work When Nothing Is Actually Wrong?

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 22:05

Why can you feel anxious at work when you know, logically, that nothing is wrong?

Maybe it happens when you speak up in meetings, give a presentation, make a decision, speak to senior people, deal with conflict or put yourself forward.

You know you're not actually in danger. But your brain and body can react as though you are.

In this episode, Anna Manning explores anxiety at work, low confidence and why your brain and body can learn to experience safe situations as a threat.

You'll hear:

why you can feel anxious, nervous or fearful at work even when you know you're safe
what happens when your brain and body register a work situation as a threat
how learned threat responses can affect speaking up in meetings, presentations, decision-making, difficult conversations and dealing with senior people
the difference between THREAT / THREAT and THREAT / SAFE
how your brain and body can learn something new and begin to experience previously difficult situations as safe

Because confidence at work isn't about learning to manage your nerves. It's about changing what your system has learned to expect.

If there is a situation at work that feels like a threat even though you know logically that nothing is wrong, this episode is for you.

Ever forgotten what you were saying halfway through a sentence?

Anna shares how she responds in these moments to stay in a high confidence cycle, even when she forgets a word or loses her train of thought.

In this episode:

Why your brain might go blank
The connection between brain fog and confidence
What happens when you start monitoring yourself
Why what you do after a meeting matters

203. One Reason You Freeze in Meetings (And How To Speak Up)

Episode 203

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 11:47

Do you freeze, go blank or struggle to speak up in meetings — even when you know what you want to say?

One reason you may keep freezing in meetings isn't what happens during the meeting. It's what happens afterwards.

If you leave meetings replaying what you said, focusing on what went wrong, worrying about how you came across or criticising yourself for not speaking up, you may be creating more pressure for the next meeting.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why the way you evaluate yourself after a meeting can affect your confidence in the next one
How unfair self-evaluation keeps you stuck in a low-confidence cycle
What fair evaluation looks like instead
How to start changing this habit so you can speak up in meetings with less pressure

If you're looking for help with confidence in meetings, speaking up at work, freezing or going blank in meetings, or overthinking after meetings, this episode is for you.

199. Why Fixing Confidence Problems Feels Like Whack-A-Mole — And What Actually Works

Episode 199

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 18:45

Wondering if joining the Confident at Work Programme could help you? ⁠Book a free 30-minute consultation with Anna⁠ to talk through what you’re experiencing at work and whether the programme could be a good fit.

----------

Fixing one confidence problem at work only to find another?

You get better at speaking up in meetings… then struggle with presentations. You become more confident with senior stakeholders… then find yourself second-guessing everything again.

In this episode of Confident at Work, Anna Manning explains why workplace confidence isn’t really about fixing individual situations. The same patterns — overthinking, fear of judgement, perfectionism, self-doubt and relying on external validation — can show up across your working life.

You’ll discover why lasting confidence comes from changing the underlying patterns, not just learning how to handle one situation better.

If you’re capable but still struggle with confidence at work, this episode will help you understand what might really be going on — and what you can do about it.

Wondering if joining the Confident at Work Programme could help you? Book a free 30-minute consultation with Anna to talk through what you’re experiencing at work and whether the programme could be a good fit.

You want people to trust you, believe in you and see the value in you?

Because sometimes, the person who needs to believe in you first is you.
