"Doubts hold us back and make us small."

Self-doubt is a faithful companion of many people. They are the voice in our head that whispers to us that we are not good enough, that we could fail or that others are doing it better. If such self-doubt gets out of hand, it harms us. Karina Rey therefore says that we should give them less space.

"Be mindful of yourself and talk to yourself like your best friend."

The actress, coach, speaker and author knows all about self-doubt. From her own experience - and from her work with countless people. 
In this episode of SMP LeaderTalks, Karina Rey talks to Georgiy Michailov about why doubt holds us back. And she shows us how we can free ourselves from negative beliefs.

"I have stage fright and that's a positive thing."

Rey explains why stage fright is actually a good thing and how you can turn it into energy. She also reveals the three tips she swears by before performances and what she learned about happiness during her time in Cameroon.
