She wasn't considering just how much she really brought to the table. The Wake Up Call While working with her clients, Alexis realized how many talented people still carried the burden of self-doubt. This prompted her to examine her own self-doubt and to realize that it wasn't about her. She needed to be present for her clients and not worried about herself.
