Topic: Building Confidence
When you think of someone you'd describe as being confident, what kind of qualities do you imagine? Are they articulate? Possessing a sense of gravitas? An extrovert? Confidence is a concept that we can struggle to agree on a consistent definition of. But what's often familiar is that first-hand feeling of lacking confidence at moments that matter. And it’s likely something that we’d like to have more of, rather than less of.
The good news is that confidence can be learned, practised and flexed with intention. Because as Harry Stack Sullivan memorably said: “It’s easier to act yourself into a new way of feeling than to feel yourself into a new way of acting.”
