How To Stop Apologising And Learn Confidence With Lauren Currie

Update: 2024-09-01

Description

In this episode Lauren shares her journey from her early memories of seeing a strong work ethic in her parents, to founding UPFRONT, a business several years in the making. With her background in service design at the forefront of everything she does, Lauren has great insight on asking for feedback, and the power of using that feedback - both good and bad, to shape your business. Plus, we discuss finding confidence, how it can be learnt, and her mission to teach it through her Bond programme, with tips for listeners on unlearning societal expectations to boost their own confidence too. I think this could actually be a life-changing episode for so many people, and it's one I'll definitely revisit.
