Confidence is about bravery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bravery to believe in yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bravery to take risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bravery to steer your life or career in a new direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I once heard someone say that confidence is the moment you realize there is no need to compare yourself to anyone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To build on that thought, I say that confidence is the bravery to be yourself, unapologetically, every single day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Easier said than done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In our careers\u2014and life in general\u2014we often encounter people who act as roadblocks to our authenticity. These are the \u201cenergy vampires\u201d who slowly drain our confidence.
And yet, we sometimes allow them to do it. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no unique or simple answer, but the important piece of this process is for you to recognize who are these vampires, and block them from your life, or influence. Be brave to stop them. Use your superpower: Confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s no one-size-fits-all answer. But what matters most is recognizing who these people are\u2014and choosing to cut off their influence. Be brave enough to stand up to them.
