Neuroscience of Confidence

Most leaders think confidence comes from never showing doubt, but neuroscience reveals the opposite is

true. When I studied The Confidence Code by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman,

I discovered something counterintuitive. The research shows that authentic confidence isn't built by

pretending to have all the answers. It is constructed through action, even when you

are uncertain. The real problem isn't lack of confidence. It is waiting

to feel confident before taking action. Here is what actually works. First,

embrace the competence confidence loop. Take small risks daily and learn from the outcome.

Watch your genuine confidence compound. Second, reframe failure as data collection.
