Welcome to Shrink for the Shy Guy.

This is the show for you if you are sick and tired of being held back by fear, self-doubt,

social anxiety, shyness, anything that's stopping you from you being you.

I'm going to share the most powerful tools and resources that I've been discovering over the last 15 years on my

journey to eradicate social anxiety and instill confidence, first in myself and then in every

single person that I meet on my journey. You're going to learn these tools and how to apply them

in your life now so that you can become the most free, powerful, bold, authentic version of you.

Hey, welcome to today's episode of the show.

Today we're going to be talking about three ways to become more confident around authority

figures, people that, well, might be

traditionally an authority like they have power over you in some obvious way, perhaps a boss,

supervisor, manager, executive of the company, something like that. Or, you know, maybe

there's an authority in your community, local

government, an official, and there's other certain specific places. Maybe if you're a student than

someone in the administration of the school or university or whatever. So there are

official authority figures, and you're going to learn how to be more confident around

them. But then even more common is a lot of people that you might imbue with authority, even

though they don't have direct power over you like a boss. So let me give you some examples,

so you can get a sense of that. You know, oftentimes I'll work with people and they'll see someone

that they find attractive as an authority.

And they might not use that term, but the way they relate to that person is similar.

And we'll break down in just a minute how you are around authority, so you'll see what I mean.
