Yet, I’m here to guide you through breaking free from the chains of others' opinions, fostering a personal brand that resonates with who you truly are, and cultivating a leadership style that celebrates diversity and personal growth.   My Socials:  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darinebenamara/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darinebenamara/   ⏱⏱ Video Chapters: ⏱⏱(00:00) - Intro(01:38) - Overcoming Fear of Judgment(02:41) - Self-Discovery & Clarity(03:18) - Positive Self-Talk Techniques(04:00) - Living by Personal Standards(05:00) - Overcoming the Need for Approval(06:06) - Personal Growth & Self-Improvement(07:07) - Outro Subscribe to STANDOUT From The Crowd on:   ⭐ Spotify: https://postly.link/f36 🎙 Apple Podcasts: https://postly.link/SMR 📺 YouTube: https://postly.link/CXx   📩 Newsletter: https://shorturl.at/bdgkE  📕 Book: https://shorturl.at/nxM01       Other episodes you may like: No More "I'm sorry..." – Say THIS How To Skyrocket Your Reputation   The Power of Self-Perception in Professional Growth

In this episode, I uncover the truth behind the overuse of "I'm sorry" and its impact on your perception of empowerment and competence.Over-apologizing can have negative consequences, particularly in the workplace, as it can lead to a perception of weakness or lack of confidence. Do you find yourself saying "I'm sorry" a lot?  “Sorry, I'm late”;  “Sorry, I'm busy right now”;  “I'm sorry, I can't help you right now”;  “Sorry, Can I interrupt?" What are you sorry for?  Stop Apologizing NOW and reclaim your power!
