Confidence is a mentality

I’ve just wrapped filming two on-demand courses on #confidence with Center Stage International (thank you Sarah Knop for the invitation!), one for schools and one for the workplace. Different audiences, same core truth: confidence is a mentality, and like anything, it can be developed. Some key elements of building a confident mindset include:

🌱 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 & 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗺: The way we speak to ourselves shapes how we see ourselves, so what words are we choosing?

🗣 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀: How we express our thoughts affects how they’re received, so how can we communicate so we’re understood as we intend?

🎤 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The way we carry ourselves influences whether people listen, so how can we use our voice and body with intention?

🤝 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 & 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀: How we engage with others shapes collaboration and connection, so are we showing up with empathy?

🧠 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴: The way we care for our minds and bodies impacts our performance and sense of balance, so are we making space to rest and play?

Whether it’s a student speaking up in class or a professional leading a meeting, these foundations make a huge difference in the way that we see ourselves and relate to the world around us, and in turn how others see us and relate to us too.

Curious to hear your take:
Which of these do you think has the biggest impact on confidence… mindset, communication, presence, relationships, or resilience? 👇
