Self-confidence may be one of the best skills to being the best partner, parent, team member.

This doesn’t mean being cocky, or touting an overblown self worth. Self-confidence is a true belief in your ability to do things and figure things out. It provides the ability to learn new things, because as you do so you will feel dumb and get frustrated. But you will move through that and figure that out.

It can probably be taught, but that isn’t easy. We may have to teach ourselves.

Think about a time you worked with someone who didn’t believe in themselves. How did that feel? Do you want to do something different?
