Most people misunderstand confidence. They think confidence is something you "project" but in reality: External confidence (speaking up, leading meetings, handling pressure) is often a byproduct of internal evidence. In psychology, this maps closely to the concept of “self-efficacy” - your belief that you can execute what’s required. And the most powerful way to build it isn’t hype… It’s real wins you can point to (“mastery experiences” in psychology lingo) When people struggle with confidence, they usually do one of these: → Wait to feel ready (and stay stuck) → Rely on performance hacks (momentary boost, shaky foundation) → Outsource belief to approval (validation fades fast) A better sequence: 1️⃣ Create evidence (small + repeatable). Pick the smallest uncomfortable action you can complete this week. 2️⃣ Track it. Write down the win (yes, even if it’s “sent the message” or “asked the question”). 3️⃣ Let progress do its job. Small wins build momentum and momentum changes how you show up.
