Confidence Coach #1 Bestselling Author of "The Legendary Life" and "Nothing to Lose" Director of The Inspirational Lifestyle Ltd and The Brojo THE REAL ME… More important than my work history is my life experience. In my early childhood I developed a people-pleasing persona. Small events that I misunderstood led me to create a massive fear of rejection and abandonment. I was simply terrified of being disliked. In my teens years this mutated into consistent approval seeking behaviour. I would pretend to be whatever it was I thought others wanted me to be. I became hypersensitive to the moods and reactions of others, and could always keep people calm, entertained and agreeable. In my early 20s this started to frustrate the hell outta me! Night after night I lay awake wondering why I couldn’t just be honest and real with people. If someone was angry at me, or disappointed, it would ruin my week. My connections with people were mostly superficial, because the guy they thought they liked didn’t actually exist. He was just a mask I wore to hide my weaknesses and negative emotions. At the age of 25 I decided that I couldn’t live like this any more. I didn’t know what was wrong, but I knew I didn’t like the way my life was going. It was EXHAUSTING trying to please everyone. I just wanted a rest. So I started trying some new things. It began with women; the most terrifying creatures on the planet. They had the power to reject me like no one else could, and therefore were my biggest obstacle in being honest and vulnerable. I started approaching and talking to women, allowing myself to experience rejection on purpose in order to reduce my fear around it. Through doing this I started to learn the key influences in social dynamics, how to be a leader, and how to build social circles up from scratch. Over time I realised that my problem was low self confidence. A lifetime of being fake had ingrained in me the belief that THE REAL ME was not worthy of being known by people. So slowly, in small steps, I started releasing him out into the wild. The results astonished me. While some people hated him (which hurt but didn’t kill me), others it turned out really loved him. And the more AUTHENTIC I became, the better my life got. I soon realised that authenticity required that I pursue my passions and dreams as well. It wasn’t good enough to be a social leader, I also had to start my own business, take care of my health, and master my hobbies. Fast forward 5 years and I’m now teaching others how to walk this path. Only now I’ve reverse-engineered the path I took to figure out how it works. I’ve learned how to build confidence, and can now take others through that process in months instead of years.
