Confidence is a funny thing. When you have it, everything feels natural, you feel comfortable and you enjoy expressing yourself. But when you’re lacking confidence, talking to clients, colleagues, and even friends becomes a source of anxiety. The idea of getting in front of the camera and putting yourself out there becomes scary and stressful.

When you’re lacking confidence, social situations, public speaking, and social media become things to be avoided. You start overthinking, your hands start to feel sweaty, your heart starts to race. You don’t articulate yourself well, you go red in the face, and you worry how you come across.

Unfortunately, when lacking confidence with your communication, it often means you talk yourself out of exciting opportunities, and you miss out on the chance to put yourself forward for projects you would love to be a part of. You play safe rather than going all out and giving it your best shot.

But most importantly, speaking and feeling confident affects every area of your life. 

It affects the way you show up in your work, the way you connect in your relationships with your partner and family. How confident you feel impacts your financial potential, your social influence and your self-esteem.

The good news is that becoming a Confident Communicator is something everyone can achieve. Often more introverted people think they can never be a Confident Communicator, but this just isn’t true. Like anything, if you’ve never been taught the best way to do it, your results will vary wildly. But, if you learn the most effective ways to communicate, you have a safe space to practice, and you have expert guidance along the way, you can become a Confident Communicator in a very short space of time.
