This week I caught up with Michelle Bowditch and talked or things confidence! And how to build it in your career and business.  Michelle Bowditch is the CEO of the Australian Assembly of Administrators (formerly Australian Admin Awards) and the multi-award-winning agency Door 20A. A powerhouse who facilitates bespoke workshops and keynote presentations as an in-demand business strategist, cheerleading expert, speaker, and event chairperson.  Through Door 20A, Michelle runs a mentoring program, 'Be YOU, Do YOU, Amaze YOU,' that aims to unlock the potential of mentees by shifting limiting beliefs to advance their careers. Being a sincere cheerleader and guiding women to dream bigger is her most profound value. Michelle has a few core beliefs. These are: 1. Confidence Is Contagious   2. Your Words Become Your Actions   3. Change Your Story   4. Go for It!   5. Know Your Values   6. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone   Confidence starts with the willingness to try. Most importantly, confidence starts within. It starts with self! Once you start to believe in yourself, the magic starts to happen.
