Self-esteem & Success
Why you should care about confidence.
Confidence is an important predictor of success in all areas of life. Scientific studies have shown that healthy confidence and self-esteem can lead to improvements in performance, relationships, communication, leadership and overall happiness in life.
Boosting your confidence can help you:
- improve concentration
- show a greater commitment to tasks
- increase your energy and motivation
- have a greater sense of autonomy
- communicate clearly and effectively
- better influence and persuade others
- organise your life effectively and confidently,
- demonstrate more leadership presence
- delegate more effectively
Confidence is especially important in leadership. Leadership requires confident decision-making, bold but measured risk-taking, strong commitment and resilience: three things that those with low self-confidence generally find lacking.
At a practical level, improving your confidence has been shown to lead to more frequent promotions and higher positions, higher pay and more frequent pay rises, so why wait?
I have also included a bonus activity, The 5 Why's; which will help you choose a confidence goal and work out your underlying motivation. So what are you waiting for? Find out how confident you are today!
