𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is a belief we can create a successful outcome through our actions.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 is a feeling we experience within ourselves.
So to understand 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 we have to look at both the mind and body for answers.
It is a belief among professional women that if you work hard it would be enough to get ahead. The truth is, it is actually 𝗡𝗢𝗧 enough to just be competent and perform well at your job.
You need to be 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 and 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 to be successful.
It is not always about performance in the job, but it is important to increase 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 and 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲. You need to get out of the comfort zone to voice your opinions and speak up at meetings, give presentations and find ways to showcase your achievements. All of these things require you to be 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 in yourself.
