You know when someone seems to breeze through life, can approach any social situation and challenge with such self-assured confidence? It seems innate - something they were born with. But what if that's not true? What if, instead of a fixed personal trait, confidence is actually a set of learnable abilities, a dynamic skill that anyone can cultivate, sharpen, and ultimately master? Today, we’re challenging the notion that confidence is a trait, and instead something you build.

Things we discuss:
Why confidence is dynamic and adaptable
Self-efficacy as a driver of confidence
How "growth mindsets" can revolutionise your approach to challenges and setbacks
Understanding the locus of control to fuel or hinder your forward momentum
Actionable strategies to build your confidence from the ground up

 

If you’ve ever thought, “if only I was just born confident”, this episode is for you.
