Is confidence at work really that important? How do we build it? Do we need to be loud and extroverted to seem confident? Every career journey does include discomfort as we grow and learn.
I've teamed up with fellow career coach Brian Klindworth to chat openly about some common examples (including some from our own careers) when confidence caused challenges and what to focus on to move forward. Because underneath confidence there is both certainty and courage to be explored.
Some of the things we cover:
• How to focus on what you know and build on it
• Are certainty and courage more important than confidence?
• Connecting back to a time you felt confident, capable and comfortable
• Healthy confidence vs. demanding the spotlight
• Assertiveness and extroversion and their relationship with confidence
• Building self-esteem and nurturing a healthy relationship with yourself
• Self-worth and keeping promises to yourself
• Focusing on what you love doing, rather than how confident you feel
• (Re)focusing on the service to others rather than your own fear
• Finding the format of presenting, sharing and delivering value that makes you feel more confident and natural
• Is your company helping you rise and succeed?
• Leadership challenge and skill gaps
• Comparing with curiosity instead of through judgement
