The Truth About Confidence with TEDx Speaker Nina Perez | RR334
Manage episode 516122404 series 2521398
What if confidence wasn’t something you had to fake, but something you could feel?
In this episode, I reconnect with the lovely and wise Nina Perez; transformation coach, TEDx speaker, and someone I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for years. We talk about the real roots of confidence, and why the old “fake it till you make it” advice can actually backfire. Nina shares her journey from being a self-described shy girl to stepping into the spotlight, not by pretending to be someone else, but by learning to feel confident from the inside out.
We also explore how small, everyday habits (Nina calls them “micro-habits”) help you show up as your most grounded, magnetic self, whether you are leading a team, speaking to an audience, or just trying to feel good in your own skin. I especially loved her perspective on using body language and storytelling to create genuine connection, and how she helps clients balance both warmth and authority.
This is a conversation full of “aha” moments, some great stories, and practical wisdom for anyone who wants to lead with presence, not performance.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why confidence is something you practice, not perform
- The real reason “fake it till you make it” doesn’t work, and what to do instead
- What micro-habits can do for your daily energy and presence
- How storytelling builds trust faster than facts ever will
- Why everyone has charisma. It’s just about finding your unique flavor
