#327: Recreating the conditions for confidence.

In this episode, Ben explores how confidence is often linked to the conditions surrounding our work rather than being a fixed personal trait. When people lose confidence, it can feel as though something internal has changed. However, Ben suggests that confidence is frequently influenced by external factors such as preparation, clarity, experience and support. One practical approach is to reflect on situations where you previously felt confident and performed well. By identifying the conditions that were present in those situations, you can begin to recreate them and give yourself a better foundation for confidence again. This perspective helps leaders focus on shaping the environment and conditions that support confidence rather than trying to force confidence through willpower alone.
