In our conversation, Abbi said something that stopped me in my tracks:</p><blockquote>“My goal this year is to be more arrogant.”</blockquote><p>In this mini episode, we unpack what that really means – and no, it’s not about being rude, entitled, or steamrolling people. It’s about&nbsp;backing yourself out loud.</p><h3>In this episode, I talk about:</h3><ul><li>Reframing “arrogance”</li><li>Why we need to redefine arrogance as&nbsp;<em>unapologetically backing your skills, ideas, and decisions</em>&nbsp;– especially for women who are often&nbsp;overqualified and under-assertive.</li><li>Self-efficacy and the psychology of confidence</li><li>How your belief that you can handle a task (self-efficacy) affects whether you speak up, try, and bounce back – and how behavior can actually&nbsp;create&nbsp;confidence.</li><li>The 10% rule: your dare for the next 7 days</li><li>One simple challenge: choose a situation where you’d usually shrink, and act&nbsp;10% more “arrogant”&nbsp;instead. Not 200% – just 10%.</li><li>Examples might be:</li><li>Speaking up in a meeting instead of staying quiet</li><li>Correcting mis-credit and saying, “Actually, I led that project”</li><li>Naming your&nbsp;real rates&nbsp;or boundaries without apologising</li><li>Stretching your comfort zone (without tipping into panic)</li><li>Why feeling uncomfortable doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong – it usually just means you’re stepping outside your old script and letting your nervous system&nbsp;recalibrate.</li><li>Reflection prompts to journal on:</li></ul><ol><li>Where in my life am I most underestimating myself?</li><li>What am I quietly excellent at that nobody sees because I keep hiding it?</li><li>If I was 10% more arrogant this week, what would I do differently?</li></ol><h3>This week’s dare</h3><p>For the next&nbsp;7 days:</p><p>👉 Pick&nbsp;one real situation&nbsp;where you’d usually shrink.</p><p>👉 Act&nbsp;10% more arrogant&nbsp;– in the best possible way.</p><p>👉 Back yourself a little louder than you usually would.</p><p>You don’t have to grow a giant ego. You just have to stop pretending you are less than you are.</p><h3>Come and tell me what you did</h3><p>I would&nbsp;<em>love</em>&nbsp;to hear how you get on with this dare.</p><ul><li>DM me on Instagram&nbsp;and tell me what you tried</li><li>Or&nbsp;tag me in your Stories&nbsp;and share your 10% more arrogant moment</li></ul><h3>Dare Club is coming…</h3><p>We are just weeks away from the launch of&nbsp;Dare Club&nbsp;on&nbsp;28th April&nbsp;– my new&nbsp;online paid community&nbsp;for women who want to live a more daring life.</p><p>Inside Dare Club you’ll get:</p><ul><li>Live webinars&nbsp;with previous and new guests</li><li>A&nbsp;sisterhood community&nbsp;if you haven’t found your tribe yet</li><li>Ongoing mini dares, tools, and conversations to help you be more daring</li></ul><p>We’re starting with&nbsp;50 founding members&nbsp;who will get a&nbsp;locked-in lifetime price.</p><p>👉 Head to<a href=\"&nbsp;shewhodareswins.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;shewhodareswins.com</a>&nbsp;and click on&nbsp;Dare Club&nbsp;to join the waiting list</p><p>👉 Or comment&nbsp;“dare club”&nbsp;on any of my Instagram posts and I’ll DM you the link</p>","author_name":"Michelle Hands"}
