Listen "Building Your Confidence from the Inside Out, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD"
Episode Synopsis
Abstract: This article explores evidence-based approaches to building workplace confidence, defining it as a metacognitive process influenced by competence, preparation, experience, and social validation. The article presents practical strategies for cultivating genuine confidence, including setting stretch goals rather than pursuing perfection, developing expertise across multiple domains, using positive self-talk mantras, building supportive professional networks, prioritizing learning over immediate results, taking balanced responsibility for both successes and failures, and cultivating presence through positive body language and communication. Drawing from psychological research, the article frames confidence not as an innate trait but as a skill that can be systematically developed through consistent practice and intentional habits, ultimately enabling professionals to maximize their potential and influence in the workplace.
