Want to know what some of the advise from members of the Be Braver Collective would be to those of you who think you lack confidence?

Are dealing with difficult feedback that has knocked your confidence - or see a gap between your confidence (feeling able) and your competence (being able)?

Have a look here:

Know what triggers a lack of self belief - identifying them is the start if challenging them.
Being ok with gaps in your knowledge or competencies.
Knowing what you don’t know creates opportunities for others.
You aren’t expected to be expert at everything.
Explore the purpose and intention behind negative comments or criticism.
Is negative feedback coming from someone you would take advise from?
Are you in a toxic space?
Do others actually have specialist knowledge you do?
Choose whether a belief serves you - does it limit you?
Context is key as to whether a belief is part of a value/ virtue and when it's just limiting your options and performance.
An emotional reaction doesn't signal incompetence.
Finding the source of limiting beliefs can be easier to do with someone else than on your own.
Having the space and support to articulate my limiting beliefs creates the potential to change them.
Grateful that I can pinpoint my confidence issues/limiting beliefs generation
Aligning limiting beliefs to values offers invaluable insight.
Things that are easy are core strengths and to say these out loud more.
