Stop Hedging & Build Your Confidence
Maybe…sort of…I mean…I think…perhaps…possibly…perhaps…might…could…probably…
Be honest: if someone made a word cloud of your most commonly used words, how big would these be? If you’re realizing you use a lot of hedging language, you’re not alone! Hedging serves all kinds of important purposes in language, from expressing appropriate uncertainty, to creating space for diverging perspectives, to bridging power differentials at work.
The only problem is that they’re often viewed as an outward sign that you lack confidence, so they can end up undermining your message, your credibility, and your career prospects.
Talk Outline:
This talk will focus on how to stop the undermining effects of hedging on your communication. We’ll cover:
- What hedging is and why it’s quietly keeping you away from opportunities to lead
- How to spot the places where hedging shows up in your work life
- The 3 key ingredients to true, career-building confidence
- Specific actions you can take to help you stand strong & show up confident, even under pressure
The goal of this talk is to help you reduce the hedging that undercuts your credibility so you can show up confident & ready to dazzle every room you walk into.
About Our Speaker
Lana Kinberg
Confidence Strategist
Lana is a confidence strategist, speaker, facilitator and former Fortune 200 sales leader. She helps individuals and teams build confidence intentionally to stop second-guessing themselves and show up with clarity and conviction.
After 30 years in corporate sales leadership, Lana saw how often capable people were overlooked, not because they lack skill, but because they don’t show up with confidence in a way others can see and trust. That led her to develop the S.E.L.F.™ Confidence Framework, Security, Empathy, Luminosity, and Fortitude; four pillars that work together to help people build confidence they can rely on in the moment.
Because there’s a difference between feeling confident and being confident—and that difference can change everything. When she's not empowering others, she can be found building her confidence on a golf course or bingeing cooking competitions.
