63. Sonalogues: How I moved from India to South America to Europe (and everything in between!)

Send us Fan MailHow did I get hired for a plum consulting role in Chile and all the HR roles here in Europe?In this podcast episode, I reveal it all. I don't know anyone who isn't insecure and suffering from low self-confidence at one point or another.  I've had more than my share. I talk a lot about how COMPETENCE builds CONFIDENCE. Put the reps in, repeat. It will get better. And it does.What does that mean??Here's my own story, where I have shared my rocky journey on building confidence and self-belief with my fab friend Jules White from back in July 2021:𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠:⬆Knowing that HR as a function was right for me, at 18 years of age.⬆ Living on the other side of the world at 26 years old, in Uruguay and Chile⬆ Learning Spanish to open up new conversations and opportunities⬆ Teaching English to the local professionals𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠:⬇ Living in Europe with a new born baby to start the MBA at 29⬇ Constant comparison with others, "I'm not -- enough"⬇ Being laid off multiple times⬇ Leaving a job with nothing to go to at 39⬇ Starting my own business at 40⬇ My YouTube journey in 2018Fast forward to 2021.
