This week Bart speaks with Brooke Sophia, an executive coach, jiujiteira, and consultant with The Humphrey Group about the mindset required to build the confidence it takes to inspire others. Brooke shares her journey into coaching and martial arts and how she’s learned that self-doubt and the inertia of imposter syndrome can hold you back. She explores how to flip this mindset to embrace change, how to “tell the truth to ourselves”, be in the energy of celebration, and how to inspire others once you have inspired yourself. Brooke’s energy, honesty, and personal stories make her a sought after member of THG’s team, and this episode will help anyone looking to grow their capability to build self-confidence.
