The Trust Gap: Rebuilding Belief in Yourself
Summary
In this conversation, Kaan Celebi explores the concept of the 'trust gap,' which refers to the growing distance between our intentions and actions, leading to self-doubt and a lack of belief in our capabilities. He discusses the origins of this gap, often rooted in childhood experiences, and emphasizes the importance of rebuilding self-trust through small, consistent promises to oneself. By focusing on manageable commitments and celebrating small wins, individuals can gradually close the trust gap and foster a stronger sense of self-belief and confidence.
