“From Layoffs to Leadership: Cultivating Confidence and Collaborative Success” with Michelle Mehta



Summary:

In this week’s episode of the UpLevel Podcast, we had an enlightening conversation with Michelle Mehta, a renowned confidence expert, international best-selling author, and TEDx speaker. She was named one of Yahoo Finance's “Top 11 female coaches to follow in 2021.” She is a testament to resilience, self-belief, and the transformative power of storytelling.


Michelle’s journey was not always smooth sailing. Facing several layoffs during her time in customer service acted as a trigger for self-reflection and growth. These experiences taught her that confidence isn't something you're born with; it's cultivated through practice and alignment with personal core values.


In this episode:

  • Seek out confidence-building strategies: Identify what matters most to you and ensure that your actions reflect these values.

  • Consider collaborative authorship: This can provide an easier route into publishing and help form strong connections within a community of like-minded individuals.

  • Use storytelling as empowerment: Embrace your own experiences and share them openly, as Michelle does in her books.

  • Be open about mental health issues: Work toward reducing the stigma associated with subjects such as family traumas, cultural stereotypes, depression, and anxiety by discussing them openly yet respectfully.

  • Practice Self-Validation (VALUE): Implement Michelle's five-step VALUE process in your daily routine - Validate yourself; Appreciate life; Love yourself; Understand strengths and weaknesses; Expand curiosity and willingness to learn

  • Use Writing as Therapy: Try writing down traumatic experiences or challenges faced that could help identify significant events impacting one’s life.

  • Share Stories Consciously: In case you share someone else’s narrative, always remember that seeking consent is important. Also, share stories more for healing and less for public recognition.

  • Publish with Purpose: If you're considering publishing a book, think about the impact it will have on your readers. Make sure to publish with purpose and intentionality.
