Confidence

Confidence is trust in ourselves: the knowledge, skills, and the value we are able to bring to a situation. True confidence is not bravado. It is lies in genuine knowledge of who we are and is often built on a foundation of hard work. Confidence is infectious, which is why it is a key quality of leadership.

Confidence gives us the courage to act, but sometimes it is bold action, even in the face of fear, that creates confidence.
