Coles Closing the Confidence Gap: Why You Look Confident on Paper But Don't Feel It in the Room at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The credentials you earned don't vanish when you walk into the room-your brain's belief in them does, and
most of what happens next depends on whether you train that belief or let doubt narrate for you. Part of
Florentine Sorrel's insightful book explores the disorienting gap between external qualification and internal
certainty, and the performance anxiety that fills it.
When preparation meets a high-stakes moment, competence stops being a neutral asset and becomes a stage for
self-doubt to perform on. Closing the Confidence Gap is not a resume workshop, a public speaking course, or a
collection of affirmations. Instead, it unpacks the specific cognitive scripts that silence you despite strong
credentials, showing you what your hesitation actually costs your career.
Through relatable professional scenarios, you will explore the hidden mechanics of self-silencing:
- The Inner Rehearsal Loop: Why the voice demanding more polish, more research, more "something"
before you speak often delays you past the moment your idea could land.
- The Misread Room: How a single crossed arm or blank expression can derail your entire presentation,
and why your brain defaults to the worst interpretation of neutral cues.
- The Qualified Freeze: Why having every slide approved, every number verified, and every stakeholder
aligned doesn't prevent the throat-tightening silence when it's your turn to speak.
You'll gain specific cognitive overrides to interrupt the rehearsal loop, reinterpret ambiguous signals accurately,
and speak your ideas before doubt talks you out of the moment. Pick up Closing the Confidence Gap now and
close the gap between what you know and what you're finally ready to say out loud.
