Dani on how to be more confident…

Remember that others infer your confidence from your behaviour. Self-esteem is something else and something you can work on building in the meantime.

Decide on some positive affirmations to remind yourself of every morning and evening. If you look the part ensure you have the required knowledge to act the part. Noticing the trust from people you are working with will make you feel stronger still.

Make a conscious effort to consistently stretch your comfort zone. Do things that scare you just enough to start to build positive memories of your strength and bravery. Be kind to yourself. You are your own support squad. Notice any negative language that comes into your head about yourself and turn it around. From the reverse side of your weaknesses shine your strengths.
