CREATE Confidence
It’s week 2 of the CREATE series, where we’re talking about what we want to create in 2024, and how we take steps to get there. This week, I’m talking about confidence. A clear difference maker in the path toward success, but it could be that we’re thinking about it all wrong. Is confidence a trait that you either have or don’t? I’m challenging that idea, and breaking down:
- What confidence really is
- Why you’re not “all in” (or out!) on confidence
- The “protection” that a lack of confidence offers
- Where lack of confidence may stem from
- What we should avoid, in order to grow in confidence
- The key to building more confidence
- How mindset and emotions tie in
- Why action is absolutely necessary
- Simple steps you can start taking to create your confidence skill
