The Power of 'No' - Talking Trading

The Power of ‘No’

Louise

September 20, 2022

I loved my conversation with Vanessa Murphy from the Women in Confidence podcast so much that I decided to release it to you, my wonderful Talking Trading listeners.

There are so many things working against us these days – ‘busy work’ where we see our precious hours sucked up pursuing projects that don’t leave us fulfilled, domestic chores, and not to mention our own levels of self-belief and confidence. Let’s dive into this topic and explore how you can banish that nagging voice of self-doubt, and accomplish more than you feel you’re currently capable of achieving. Let me give you some specific strategies you can use to reclaim your time and your power.

In this interview, I must admit, we touch on some seriously vulnerable topics. I talk about how I was cornered and harassed by a colleague, and how this gave me the impetus to learn how to say ‘no’ in a way that didn’t damage my career. We really need to discuss these issues more freely, so we can de-tooth them, and arm people with the skills they need to stand up for themselves.

It’s all part of gaining, and maintaining confidence in today’s hectic world.

There are trading lessons in here, because as you know, the way we do one thing is the way we do everything. Gain confidence in one area in your life, and you’ll find this directly benefits your trading equity.

I’m keen to hear your views on this topic, so reach out to me to give me some feedback.
