This is definitely a journey! I think a big part of this is learning to just be present. Pre-sent yourself and BE THERE. This alone shows an element of confidence, rather than just thinking forward about what we need to do, or thinking past of what we should have done! Presence is a really BIG deal and a real part of confidence.

Thanks Saundra! Confidence + honesty is a tricky combo to master but so important as a whole and healthy leader. Appreciate the encouragement to grow here!

Confidence is probably a hard one for a lot of people. Even if we have lots of redeemable qualities, there are usually a few insecurities that can rob us from walking in Godly confidence. I think, going along with your honesty bit Saundra, is just owning your limitations. I like to tell jokes to ease situations but I also know that my jokes don’t land the same for everybody. It helps when I can admit that upfront, “Hey guys, I am really funny but none of you will be able to tell.” Just an example
That takes the power away from the insecurity and lets you operate just as you are AND in confidence.
