Mastering the ART OF CONFIDENCE

Elevate your confidence and stride into success with charisma and poise

- CHARLTON KNIGHT

Confidence always comes up as the superpower that everyone needs to be taken seriously and, ultimately, succeed. But not everyone is born with the 'confident' gene- and that's okay! We've put together a checklist to help you to start your confidence-building journey. (It's not as daunting as it may seem...)

MIND OVER MATTER

Confidence begins with the right mindset. As impossible as that may seem, it can be learned. According to Diana Murphy, an American life and mindset coach for business owners and leaders, it's important to develop the skill of approaching everything with self-awareness and decisiveness - even in the face of fear. "Being sure of your decisions is the last step to truly expanding the horizon of your business and social self," she says.

Take some time to see where you're nervous or worried... What are you thinking? First admit to what you're worried about.

"This awareness puts you back in the driver's seat. Think less 'reacting to the situation' versus 'grounded action' as you navigate the twists and turns... It is so fascinating to me how just admitting our own thoughts and emotions literally clears the air." Practising this technique will help you to embrace challenges, learn from failures and celebrate victories. By developing a mindset that automatically transforms setbacks into stepping stones, you can build up your self-esteem.
