Executive coach and public speaker Gerry Valentine provides a breakdown of the general steps required to achieve executive presence (online article).
Ben Brearley, the Thoughtful Leader, describes in an online post how essential elements of self-confidence can be developed to help you become a better leader.
When you build self confidence, you start to back yourself. You start to believe that you’re capable. You start to believe that you are worth it, and that you know what you are talking about.
The result of all this self confidence means:
- You make better decisions, because you stop second-guessing yourself
- You build trust, because people around you think you have everything under control; and
- You are more likely to speak up when people around you are too scared to do it.
