We can grow our confidence and coaching offers one of the most effective ways to support that growth. In the introduction, we’ll begin to map the territory of the book, defining confidence and self-doubt. And I’ll set out my invitation: to use the ideas, stories and activities in the book as a catalyst to look inward and better understand how confidence and self-doubt show up for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1: Fuel for life\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfidence allows us to try new things, to bounce back from setbacks, to move forward. Confidence does not guarantee success, but it does stack the odds in our favour; believing that we can do something increases the chances of success. Chapter 1 is an exploration of the impact of confidence and begins to answer the core question of how we can grow our self-belief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2: The self-doubt tax\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo many of us pay the self-doubt tax, a tax that is levied in two ways. When we allow our confidence to hold us back, we stay small and safe, paying the self-doubt tax in the form of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. When we push ourselves to achieve impressive results despite a nagging self-doubt, we pay the tax in the form of overwork and exhaustion. In this chapter, I’ll invite you to count up the self-doubt tax that you are paying, and offer practices to help you to reduce your self-doubt tax burden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3: The humble confidence benefit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to confidence, we need to be like Goldilocks and aim for just the right amount. Not too much because then our confidence tips into arrogance. Not too little because that means that we pay the self-doubt tax. ‘Just the right amount’ represents the rich middle ground where we find humble confidence. Chapter 3 is an exploration of the idea of humble confidence and what it means to have a sense of our capability that aligns with the reality of our skills and abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4: Faulty calibration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur lack of confidence can stem from a distortion in the way that we see ourselves. Our strengths and achievements look smaller to us than they do to others, whilst our weaknesses are magnified in our minds. This is faulty calibration. In Chapter 4, we’ll explore and gently challenge your calibration of your capability, with the aim of fixing the fault and enabling you to see yourself more objectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5: Confidence saboteurs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf we are to grow a robust and enduring feeling of confidence, we need to understand what can drain our self-belief at the very moment that we need it and what can erode confidence over time. The invitation in Chapter 5 is to take a look at how you are (unintentionally) diminishing your own confidence by shining a light on the confidence saboteurs that exist in your head, saboteurs such as the inner critic, comparisonitis, and fear of other people’s opinions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6: Comings and goings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur sense of confidence, the extent to which we trust ourselves, ebbs and flows over time. It can vary from place to place too; our self-assurance in a particular domain doesn’t necessarily transfer to a different setting. My invitation to you as you read Chapter 6 is to reflect on the ways in which your confidence comes and goes. Reflecting on the ups and downs of your confidence provides insight that helps you to amplify the uplifts and lessen the dips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7: Homegrown confidence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur focus in the final chapter is on the kind of homegrown confidence that shines brightly from within. The robust sense of self that enables you to withstand the inevitable bumps and knocks. We’ll explore the way that boosts to our self-belief often spring from external sources, and consider the importance of internalising these reasons to be confident.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Practical Inspiration Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042512470359,"sku":"9781788605564","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781788605564.jpg?v=1750954456","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/coach-yourself-confident-ditch-the-self-doubt-tax-unlock-humble-confidence-9781788605564","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
