Picture a tug-of-war. Your confident self has one end of the rope and your self-doubt has the other. Any time you’d like to step into something that requires confidence, you have to first battle it out with the doubts and inner critics that show up.

Sometimes confidence wins the tug-of-war and sometimes your self-doubt does. Yet, what's most frustrating is the seemingly lack of control over which one is going to come out on top.

For managers, my guess is confidence fluctuates at different times for different people. You are unique in the types of things that you struggle with and where you might need more confidence in your leadership.

In this episode, I share an idea to help with confidence-boosting, especially when your self-doubt kicks in.
