We were lucky to catch up with Tatiana Fedotova recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Tatiana, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
Developing confidence and self-esteem are feelings of worth that I needed to work on through the years. We tend to reflect and focus on the negative aspects of ourselves and lives, which in turn, contribute to low self-esteem. So, I try to create a balance and think about the positive attributes of myself and aspects of my life to combat any negative sense of self. In reflection, and in effort to develop confidence and self-esteem, I recommend that you prepare a list of personal and professional achievements and accomplishments, which include identifying all the courses you have taken and completed and people you’ve worked with and whom you have been supported by in your journey. We should remind ourselves from time to time about those achievements and accomplishments because we tend to forget them.
I guarantee you would be impressed with what you have achieved and will achieve. Your experiences are unique and many people have not experienced the world, or have faced challenges, in the same way you have. Also, keep in mind that people you admire may have the same issues and insecurities so you are not alone in this battle. Also, meditation helps with one’s confidence and general well-being.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Hello everyone! My name is Tatiana Fedotova. I am a professional magician with a specialty in mentalism. Magic is a unique and exciting field because, as part of the profession, I am given the opportunity to read minds, make predictions, and create an environment that allows audience members to immerse themselves in fun and enjoyable activities.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Of the many qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that have been most impactful in my personal journey, I think the most important one is believing in yourself. The journey to success is hardly ever smooth, as there will certainly be moments of ups and downs and encounters with people who will try to shake your confidence and question your abilities. However, staying consistent and following your path and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely support you are key ingredients to success. Also, I would advise people to not be afraid of challenges and experiment with concepts and big picture strategies; and make efforts to step outside of your comfort zone. This may be frightening to many but this helps us grow both personally and professionally.
I would also advise folks to dress to impress. I believe that first impression matters, and from my experience, performers should pay attention to the way they look. Although it may be burdensome and difficult to find one’s own style, it may be necessary for a performer especially if they are striving for originality.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
Yes, I’m always looking for people to collaborate with particularly those with creative talents and authenticity such as photographers, videographers, stand-up comedians and other folks willing to fuse ideas and create innovative projects that include magic or mentalism as a central theme.
