Confidence is a skill.

You see, I believe that confidence is a skill set, not a personality trait. I grew up thinking the opposite. I would see extroverted professionals in front of crowds, giving speeches or leading discussions, and I would think “those people are so naturally confident.” I was later proven wrong. When I met many of them intimately, I learned that successful professionals struggled with confidence just like all of us do. They were just more practiced — they had developed the skill set of confidence and I hadn’t. So instead of being envious that I wasn’t born with some imaginary confidence gene, I realized I had the exact same professional potential as anyone else — it simply came down to what I was willing to go after. As I read in the Mel Robbins book The 5 Second Rule, “Confidence is created by all the small things you do every single day that build trust in yourself.”

This podcast gives the three tips you can apply today to develop confidence as a leader, entrepreneur, or even parent right away.
