The reason that so many people never fulfill their potential is not a lack of intelligence, opportunity or resources, but a lack of belief in themselves. Or put another way, too little self-confidence.\u00a0<span class=\"tweet_quote\">\u00a0Without it, you can do little, with it, you can do anything!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But what is confidence, anyway?<\/p>\n<p>Often people think of confidence as something that the lucky few are born with and the rest are left wishing for. Not true. Confidence is not a fixed attribute; it\u2019s the outcome of the thoughts we think and the actions we take. No more; no less. It is not based on your\u00a0<em>actual<\/em>\u00a0ability to succeed at a task but your\u00a0<em>belief<\/em>\u00a0in your ability to succeed. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your\u00a0<em>belief<\/em>\u00a0in your ability to speak in front of an audience<\/li>\n<li>Your\u00a0<em>belief<\/em>\u00a0in your ability to learn a new technology<\/li>\n<li>Your\u00a0<em>belief<\/em>\u00a0in your ability to lead a team<\/li>\n<li>Your\u00a0<em>belief<\/em>\u00a0in your ability to handle confrontation or manage conflict<\/li>\n<li>Your\u00a0<em>belief<\/em>\u00a0in your ability to change job or career, exit a relationship, or start a business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s been long established that the beliefs we hold \u2013 true or otherwise &#8211; direct our actions and shape our lives. The good news is that new research into neural plasticity reveals that we can literally rewire our brains in ways that affect our thoughts and behavior at any age. Which means that no matter how timid or doubt-laden you\u2019ve been up to now, building self-confidence is largely what psychologists called volitional. Or to use layman language: \u201cBy choice.\u201d\u00a0<span class=\"tweet_quote\">With consistent effort, and the courage to take a risk, we can gradually expand our confidence<\/span> , and with it, our capacity to build\u00a0more of it!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, confidence can wax and wane throughout our lives. It\u2019s boosted when we experience a win or receive praise. It takes a hit when our efforts fall short of the mark, we&#8217;re criticized, rejected or simply feel a lack of external recognition. We\u2019re only human after all. It\u2019s therefore vital not to become overly reliant on external affirmation to prop up our self-worth, but to take ownership for taking the worthwhile actions needed to sustain it. Which begs the question:<\/p>\n<p><em>How do you build the confidence needed to overcome your challenges and achieve your goals, particularly when you don\u2019t first succeed?<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"image-embed__placeholder\">Below are five strategies, all backed by hard science, \u00a0to help you on your way, beginning with the most powerful of them all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Act As If&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just as the simplest recipes turn out the best dishes, so too the simplest advice can produce the strongest results. The single most powerful way to build confidence is to act with the confidence you aspire to have. That is, to\u00a0<em>act as if<\/em>\u00a0you already possess the confidence you aspire to have.\u00a0<em>Speak up. Reach out. Stretch yourself. Exit your comfort zone!<\/em>\u00a0While there are reams of research on building a robust sense of self-confidence &#8212; and banishing the self-doubt that can undermine it &#8211; it basically boils down the decision you take to back yourself and take a risk.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Malley,\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0The Naked CEO\u00a0shared with me, \u201cThe only way to build self-confidence is to take a risk and take action despite your fear of failure, messing up or embarrassment. If things work out, then you now know you can\u00a0<em>do<\/em>\u00a0more than you think. If things don\u2019t work out, you now know that you can\u00a0<em>handle<\/em>\u00a0more than you think. Either way, you\u2019re better off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As CEO of\u00a0CPA Australia, a leading global accounting body over 150,000 members globally, Malley\u00a0has seen far too many people stay in the same role for too long because they have bought into the confidence-shrinking (and career-limiting!) belief that they can\u2019t do anything else.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen the same myself. Someone achieves a modicum of career success only to become unwilling to do anything that might put it at risk. So they start spending more time in their comfort zone where there is minimal risk of failure and little threatens their confidence. At least in the short term! But when we stop reaching we stop learning and when we stop learning, we stop growing&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Growing our knowledge and skills.<\/li>\n<li>Growing our value.<\/li>\n<li>Growing our competence.<\/li>\n<li>Growing resilience.<\/li>\n<li>Growing our influence.<\/li>\n<li>Growing self-efficacy.<\/li>\n<li>Growing confidence in our ability to make things happen!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rather than playing to win and forging new ground, people become driven by a fear of losing the ground they already have (which I\u2019ve written about previously.)\u00a0Their\u00a0unwillingness to lay their reputation and security on the line in the short term results in missing out bigger opportunities down the road; opportunities that go to those who\u2019ve never stopped stretching, growing, learning and strengthening their confidence along the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink of something you have always wanted to do but have avoided because you fear it could be embarrassing,\u201d advises Malley. \u201cNow clear your mind and give it a go.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0It&#8217;s not only vital to your future success, but failing to take a risk and &#8220;have a go&#8221; can\u00a0ultimately put the\u00a0confidence you have now at risk. That is&#8230; If you don&#8217;t use it, you lose it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find Your Power Pose<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right now I challenge you to stand up tall, shoulders back, chin up, smile confidently\u00a0and move your body into the posture of someone who is highly self-assured; someone who never buys into beliefs that diminish them. Notice a difference? That&#8217;s because when we shift our physical state, it shifts our mental and emotional state. Not only that, but as\u00a0Harvard Professor Amy Cuddy has found,\u00a0<span class=\"tweet_quote\">\u00a0putting ourselves in a &#8220;Power Pose&#8221;\u00a0literally changes our physiology releasing a hearty dose of testosterone to fuel our bravery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Channel Your Heroes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think of someone you greatly admire who radiates a quiet sense of confidence, and think about what they would do or say if they were facing your current challenges and opportunities. Channel their self-confidence, certitude and bravery. As I shared\u00a0in\u00a0Find Your Courage, I once coached a female client who had been struggling to speak up at her weekly (male dominated) management meetings to imagine she had the confidence of Hilary Clinton. To her surprise, she found herself injecting her opinion into the conversation as never before and feeling all the more powerful for it. Ten years on she is now running the company. (Below is an interview I did about the confidence gap between\u00a0men and women.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus On What You Want<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What you put your attention on amplifies in your reality. Focus on things that make you anxious, and you\u2019ll become more anxious. Focus on things that inspire you, and you\u2019ll feel more powerful. So instead of terrifying yourself by focusing on what you don\u2019t want to happen,\u00a0<span class=\"tweet_quote\">focus on what you\u2019d love to make happen and never discount the cost of inaction.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0As world champion surfer Layne Beachley says:\u00a0\u201cFocus on what inspires you, not on what scares you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mentally Rehearse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visualization is a highly effective tool for building confidence. It can activate the same neural circuitry in the brain as doing something in reality. So to help you ACT AS IF, try imagining yourself doing (or saying) whatever it is you want to do with a quiet but unshakeable believe in your ability to do it well. If it&#8217;s a conversation you need to have, practice having it a few times before hand. It will make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Like all emotions, confidence breeds confidence. So whether you\u2019re in the C-suite\u00a0or a sales rep, make the conscious and courageous decision not to give self-doubt the power to\u00a0keep you from pursuing a bold ambition, have a tough conversation, or lay your pride on the line for a cause bigger than your ego. \u00a0As Katty Kay and Claire Shipman wrote in \u00a0The Confidence Code, \u201cConfidence is hard to define but easy to recognize. With it, you can take on the world; without it, you live stuck at the starting block of your potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By Margie Warrell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMost people live in a restricted circle of potential.\u201d This observation by William James holds no less truth today than when he made it over a century ago.
