I have coached hundreds of tech leaders.

The majority of whom are women.

Many of them struggle with a lack of confidence, including senior leaders.

I worked hard for decades on boosting my confidence.

I used to be very frustrated with myself about why I couldn't be as confident as others.

Even though I was the top #1 student in a top engineering university.

Even though I have 3 Master's Degrees in Engineering.

Even though I was a career professional who got outstanding performance reviews.

Even though I was a leader at work, in the community, and at home.

The root of lack of confidence can be very deep, starting from one's childhood and the environment they grew up in.

Today, our focus isn't on digging deep into the why.

If you'd like, contact me about potential coaching sessions.

Today, we will focus on the HOW.

For many of the women I coach, this is the #1 roadblock.

We treat confidence like a prerequisite.

But the truth is that confidence does not need to be an input; it is an output.

To help my clients move from hesitation to action, I use the CPRs Process.

Don't wait for the fear to vanish.

Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's acting while your hands are shaking.

Have the courage to start.

Confidence is a muscle, not a personality trait.

The more you do, the more confident you become because you are capable.

Every time you complete a task you were nervous about, you're building a case against your inner critic.

Blind action leads to burnout.

Reflection leads to mastery.

Recognize what works and what doesn't.

Notice how much more confident you have become.

Confidence thrives in community.

We often feel we have to "prove it" on our own.

Build your circle.

Whether it's a mentor, a coach, or a peer group, having someone to cheer you on when you question yourself and can't take the first step.

Confidence is a product of showing up.
