Abstract

While reflecting on your career in the past, have you ever stepped back from an opportunity that you wanted because you doubted yourself? In the workplace, confidence often gets mistaken for competence, and that means talented employees can be overlooked simply because they hesitate. The truth is that confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s a skill you can build. This session will get you started on building that skill.

We’ll explore practical strategies to strengthen your confidence starting today. We’ll also break down the key differences between how confident individuals act compared to those who aren’t, so you can recognize the patterns and start shifting your own approach. You’ll leave with actionable tools and the one powerful word that can transform your future, so next year’s self-reflection can be even more positive. Don’t opt yourself out; step in and own your potential.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Recognize behavioral differences between confident individuals and those lacking confidence and identify which patterns they currently exhibit.
2. Understand the link between confidence and perceived competence and how this impacts career opportunities.
3. Leverage neural priming techniques to positively influence biochemistry and create a mindset conducive to confidence.
4. Enhance self-talk strategies to replace limiting beliefs with empowering language.
5. Develop a simple daily goal that reinforces confidence and forward momentum.
