Fundamental 4 of Leadership: Self-Awareness: Building Confidence

Building self-confidence gives us the courage we need to pursue our dreams and achieve our goals. Unfortunately, insecurities about our self-worth and negative thoughts about ourselves can lead to the Impostor Syndrome, which deters us from reaching our goals and clouds our self-awareness. Acknowledging these insecurities and negative thoughts is an essential step in reframing the way we think about ourselves. Reframing our thoughts and engaging in positive self-talk can help us build the confidence we need to embrace our strengths and improve on our weaknesses. Mindful meditation is another powerful strategy to build confidence, assisting you to acknowledge when you are having negative thoughts and feelings and to focus on relaxing your mind and body in order to to proceed with assurance.
