Self-worth and financial worth are interlinked, yet many of us don’t prioritise this. Your personal growth is your biggest asset. By regularly investing in you and your development, you will likely see some serious returns in your earning potential. In this episode of A Little Bit Richer, our host Iona Bain is joined by Amy Kean - Founder of Good Shout - a learning and development company helping people communicate with confidence. Amy explains how we should all be continually learning and investing in ourselves - as well as finding ways to boost our confidence and let our unique and authentic voice be heard. This increase in self-worth matters way more to your bank balance than you might think. You can watch episodes on L&G’s YouTube channel And see behind the scenes content on TikTok and Instagram You can play the podcast and find other useful content on L&G’s website: https://www.legalandgeneral.com/podcasts/a-little-bit-richer Check out Amy Kean and Good Shout here Iona and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast. These might be different from L&G’s take on things. They give financial guidance for a UK audience that’s relevant at the time of recording. It’s general best practice, not the kind of personalised advice you’d get from a financial adviser. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And do you think that this can apply to anybody regardless of where they come from or who they are? Because in essence, we all have a hang up.

4:08

We all have something that maybe we were told when we were younger that has just preyed on our mind and maybe affected our self-belief in quite a deep way that we haven't even realized.

4:18

You'd be hard to find anyone who doesn't have that voice in their heads.

4:23

Actually, it's a myth that we have an inner monologue.

4:26

In reality, we have an inner dialogue.

4:28

So in our heads, yes, we have our own voice, of course.

4:31

That's normally quite rational.

4:32

It's normally quite a good person in there.

4:35

But we also have the voices of everybody who's ever given us feedback in our lives swirling around our heads like a sabotaging Siri, telling us stuff that's really unhelpful.

4:46

Someone could have called you stupid once.

4:50

And that will become a hang up for life.

4:52

And a lot of the work that I do is about helping people understand, first of all, that it's a dialogue.

4:59
