(But You Wonāt Get There with Just Hard Work)
Take the first step toward real confidence with the RMPĀ®
The way some people walk into rooms like they own the place.
The way they apply for jobs theyāre only half-qualified for.
The way they never second-guess themselves, even when they probably should.
They move through the world with high self-efficacy and psychological safety.
Meanwhile...
You are working twice as hard, showing up twice as prepared, and still wondering if you belong.
KNOW THYSELF FIRST
šØ Your self-doubt was never yours to begin with. šØ
It was handed to youāby systems that benefit from your hesitation, by workplaces that demand perfection from you but not from others, by a culture that praises confidence in some and calls it arrogance in others.
Over time, you started believing that if you just worked harder, achieved more, or "fixed" yourself, the doubt would go away (and you would win). But it never does, and it puts you on the losing side.
Because the real issue isnāt that you lack confidence. Itās that your self-perception has been distorted. This is like navigating life with a broken compass.
You start to recognize which doubts, fears, and expectations were internalized from your environmentāand what a more empowering belief would be when you see yourself clearly.
No more chasing every wellness hack, productivity trick, or external solution. You stop outsourcing your decisions and start trusting yourself to know what works for you.
Not the kind that comes from proving yourself or pleasing others, but the kind that comes from knowing yourself. When youāre no longer seeking validation, confidence isnāt something you ābuildāāitās something you naturally embody.
At the center of who you are, thereās a core self that isnāt tied to achievements, external validation, or what youāve been conditioned to believe about yourself.
That core is your treasure.
But most people never get to itābecause itās buried under two layers:
This is where the distortion happens. Youāve been told that parts of you are ātoo muchā or ānot enough.ā
So you shrink. You doubt. You keep questioning yourself.
This is the mask. The version of you that works overtime to fit in. The one who fakes confidence, plays by the rules, and contorts themselves to be more āacceptable.ā
You think this keeps you safe, but reallyāitās a trap.
Because the longer you wear the mask, the further away you get from yourself.
The real confidence youāre looking for is underneath all of this.
(Why You Stay Stuck in the Mask)
Hereās a lesson that took me 20 years to learn: your confidence issues donāt come from a lack of effort.
They come from not seeing yourself clearly.
If you donāt know what truly drives you, youāll keep second-guessing every decision.
If you donāt know what your core desires are, youāll keep pushing yourself in ways that exhaust you instead of energizing you.
If you donāt honor your unique motivations, youāll keep trying to force yourself into roles that were never meant for you.
We love the idea of getting to know ourselves, but most of us avoid the real workānot because weāre lazy, but because weāre afraid.
Afraid of what we might find.
Afraid that self-awareness will mean dismantling parts of our identity.
Afraid that if we strip away the expectations, weāll have nothing left to hold onto.
I did this work for years before I found the RMPĀ®. And let me tell youāit was exhausting.
Because when all you have is self-reflection, itās easy to spiral into self-criticism.
Itās easy to look at your shadow and only see contradictions and flaws.
Itās easy to fall into the trap of fixing yourself instead of understanding yourself.
I donāt help you suppress your contradictionsāI help you integrate them.
I donāt help you fix your weaknessesāI help you understand why they were never weaknesses to begin with.
I donāt teach you how to force confidenceāI show you how to build the kind that comes from knowing yourself fully.
ā” You donāt need more effort. You need more clarity. ā”
And clarity is exactly what the RMPĀ® gives you.
Right now, you have two choices:
š Stay in the Performance.
Keep overthinking, overcompensating, and hoping that one day youāll feel āready.ā
š Get to the Core.
Take the test. Get clear on what truly drives you. Learn how to work with yourself instead of against yourself. And step into a version of confidence that doesnāt feel forced.
š„ The first step? Take the test! š„
The Most Powerful Self-Knowledge Tool Youāve Never Heard Of
The RMPĀ® is a scientifically validated test that reveals:
ā Your core desires ā the things that fuel your confidence & energy.
ā Your behaviour - what drives your emotions and shapes your personality
And I use it to help you learn:
ā Where you're misaligned ā why you keep hitting the same walls.
ā How to work with yourself instead of against yourself.
ā How to create meaning, value and purpose based on what really matters to you.
This isnāt another "positive mindset" trick. Itās about hard dataāshowing you exactly who you are and why your struggles arenāt random.
You donāt need to āfixā yourself. You need to understand yourself.
If youāve spent your life feeling:
ā Misunderstoodālike no one quite āgetsā what drives you.
ā Out of placeālike youāre playing by rules that were never made for you.
ā Guilt-ridden & ashamedāpushing yourself out of obligation, not desire.
ā Trapped in procrastinationābecause traditional āmotivationā techniques donāt work for you.
Learn how to stop:
ā” Settling for less than you deserve.
ā” Overcompensating to prove your worth.
ā” Fighting your own nature instead of embracing it.

Fulfillment isnāt about doing moreāitās about understanding yourself deeply and honoring what truly moves you.

The Reiss Motivation ProfileĀ® is the only tool for self-discovery that has been scientifically developed and validated.
Our desires determine how we seek fulfillment.
There's no need to guess or go on a trip to find yourself (unless you want to).
It can be a lot quicker and simpler because we are all motivated by the same 16 desires.
The RMPĀ® recognizes that we all desire the same things, but not to the same extent.
This is what determines your inner motivation, your personality, and your relationship dynamics
I also believe that this is the root of our inner conflict.
Just because the desire is in you, it doesn't mean that you honour and prioritize it.
In fact, the root of the impostor syndrome can be traced back to this.
If we were clear on our desires and honoured them as we should, we would never wonder if we have what it takes, or if we deserve to be in the room.
It would be easier to handle the real, external obstacles that we face without letting that affect the perception we have of ourselves or our capacity.
It would be easier to know that when we feel resistance, it's not because we are not trying hard enough. We are probably resisting because the situation is not in alignment with our desires.
Nope.
One of the things I love about desires and the RMPĀ® is that your desires are ALWAYS finding a way to express themselves, so your scores have nothing to do with how good or bad your life is right now.
In fact, you will experience so much relief after you see your scores because you'll realize that a lot of the frustration in your life comes from forcing yourself to act against your core desires.
If you want to work with affirmations, this is essential. Affirmations only work when the emotion behind them is real. Once you stop associating misalignment with your self-worth, you can feel positive about your ability to change your life.
While you might have an idea of which desires matter to you (some of them can be so obvious!) the test will give you more accuracy in your self-assessment.
There's a reason we struggle with our self-worth. We are not able to see ourselves clearly, and the way we cope with that feeling is by controlling everything we do and setting impossible standards for ourselves (or, the complete opposite, we remain stuck).
The RMPĀ® takes out the guesswork of the eternal question: Who are you?
And, unlike other personality tests, your scores will answer that by focusing on the things where you rank OUTSIDE THE AVERAGE. It is very likely that your feelings of inadequacy are coming from these desires.
The RMPĀ® will tell you how you are not like most people and HOW THAT MAKES YOU AMAZING...SO YOU CAN FINALLY LEVERAGE THAT instead of thinking that you need to tone it down or suppress it!
The RMPĀ® is an excellent complement to therapy! While I am not a mental health professional and the RMPĀ® is not used to diagnose mental illness, understanding your desires can help you let go of old narratives that are keeping you small and stuck.
In my experience, the first thing people experience when they see their RMPĀ® results is RELIEF.
There was never anything wrong with them.
Their desires are perfectly valid (I mean, you now have the stats to prove it!)
All the stuff they thought made zero sense and that needed to be "fixed" (How can I be so smart and lazy/impulsive?) will start to make a lot of sense. The issue has never been about your brokenness - it's that you are trying to live life in ways that go against your wiring (aka desires).
They can stop forcing themselves to be a "higher version of themselves". The higher version of you is not a version that is different from who you are right now. Your higher version is whoever you are right now, minus the critiquing! Your higher self is you, in total approval and appreciation of yourself.
