How To Raise Your Belief Ceilings Higher

The Leadership Coaching Group

Have you ever decided not to apply for a new position? Listen as Liz and her business partner Richard Rieckenberg, discuss why you might have been held back by thoughts called Belief Ceilings, and why it's a leader's job to raise the ceiling high so you can show others that they can do the same ...plus much more on this episode of The Leadership Coaching Group podcast.

Richard believes that the best type of leader to hire is one that you have to talk into doing the job, not the one that is jumping up and down, trying to show how good they are. The person who will have the most impact is quiet, not someone trying to sell themselves.

Listen as Richard shares his views on hiring someone that maybe doesn't have the perfect qualifications for the job, but they have the commitment and drive to be successful. When you set a goal, it should be out of reach, but the next step towards that goal should be totally attainable.

Are you struggling to take the leap? Are you letting a lack of confidence stagnate you? Richard shares some nuggets that will help you move forward, take the next step, and become the leader you want to be. Go for that job you think is out of reach; they might surprise you.
