What if confidence was not about knowing everything but about trusting that you can learn, adapt, and grow even when everything around you is changing?

In this episode of the Next Level U™ podcast, we continue our A to Z journey with the letter C for Confidence (Part 2) and explore what it means to build confidence in times of change when technology evolves faster than we can keep up and growth requires both courage and curiosity.

Join hosts Mayaria Johnson and Dr. Maryam Johnson as they explore:

• The confidence curve and how it shifts during change
• How Knowledge and Ability from Prosci’s ADKAR® model strengthen self-efficacy
• What the Kübler-Ross Change Curve® reveals about emotional growth
• Building confidence when learning new technologies like AI
• Practicing intellectual autonomy and critical thinking for authentic confidence
• Reframing barriers like comparison, perfectionism, and fear of visibility
• Using the N.E.X.T. Check-In as a reset routine to rebuild confidence

This episode blends psychology, change management, and personal reflection to help you stay grounded, resilient, and confident as you navigate what comes next.

If you have ever felt uncertain in new spaces or questioned your ability to adapt, this conversation will remind you that confidence is not a destination but a daily practice.
