We as men play all sorts of mental tricks on ourselves when our confidence level is down. That’s truly a new and powerful take on the somewhat shop-worn topic of confidence, thanks to my guest, professor and author Dr. Joan Rosenberg.

Confidence and resiliency, she has found, has everything to do with your ability to handle unpleasant emotions. First off, discover how the ‘Rosenberg Reset’ can get you focused and immediately more confident in just 90 seconds.

Next, Dr. Joan reveals how we distract or disconnect from feelings rather than allowing ourselves to feel them…resulting in a hit to our confidence every time. What are the 8 ‘confidence keys’? And what’s up with the human tendency to ‘layer feelings’ as either an emotional distraction or a protection mechanism?

How do we trick ourselves into ‘transmuting’ our feelings when we’re not feeling all that confident? Why is it so many of us as men not only don’t take criticism well, we don’t take compliments well either?

How can we tell when it’s actually time to take criticism to heart rather than categorically passing it off as a personal attack? Why do men and women both seem to dislike getting feedback from the opposite gender…at all?

Finally, listen in as Dr. Joan describes how anxiety and addictions basically cheap ‘workarounds’ for lack of confidence. After listening to this episode, you’re guaranteed to emerge with brand new perspectives on confidence that will have a real, positive impact.
