7. BUILDING CONFIDENCE
Confidence isn’t about
knowing everything.
It’s about openness, calm,
and clarity.
It’s also about giving your
team assurance even in
uncertainty.
1 Stack Small Wins
Tip: Confidence grows
step by step. Celebrate
progress and
acknowledge the wins
that got you here.
Challenge: Note one past
achievement and one win
this week to reinforce your
foundation.
2 Ask & Learn Openly
Tip: Flip the script and let
your team be the experts
and position yourself as
the learner.
Challenge: Invite one team
member to walk you
through how they approach
a process, and listen
without interrupting.
Seek Feedback &
3 Support
Tip: Don’t just ask for
feedback, ask for a mirror.
Others can reflect strengths
you don’t yet see in
yourself.
Challenge: Ask a peer to
share one moment when
they’ve seen you at your
most confident. Reflect on
what made it possible.
4 Reframe Self-Talk
Tip: Treat your inner
dialogue like a coach on
the sidelines: encouraging,
steady, and constructive.
Challenge: Each time you
feel self-doubt, reframe it
by asking, “What would I say
if I were coaching someone
else through this?"
Coaching Reflection
Confidence isn’t knowing
everything.
It’s seeing how far you’ve
come and leading from that
foundation.
