Hi Reader

The digital nomad skill nobody talks about...

Recently I’ve been speaking with a number of friends and travellers who are hoping to build enough remote work experience to travel more freely and for longer.

But something interesting kept coming up in those conversations.

It wasn’t skills. It wasn’t technology. It wasn’t even finding remote jobs.

It was confidence in communication.

Confidence to talk about what they do. Confidence to pitch themselves for opportunities. Confidence in interviews, networking, and creating work wherever they are in the world.

If you want to build a location-flexible career, this skill becomes surprisingly important.

Here are three small ways to start strengthening it:

1. Use free resources online ​
   One friend recently found a fantastic communications and confidence coach on YouTube. There are incredible free lessons out there on storytelling, interviews, negotiation and public speaking.
   ​
2. Take a short speaking or improv course ​
   Even a four-to-six week course – online or in person – can make a huge difference. Anything that forces you to speak, present, or think on your feet helps build confidence quickly.
   ​
3. Practice talking about what you do
   Whether it’s networking, freelancing or remote job interviews, clarity comes with repetition. Try explaining your work in a few sentences until it feels natural and confident.

Like many skills, confidence isn’t something you wait to feel: it’s something you build.
