There are few things more heartwarming than seeing a child beam with confidence after overcoming a challenge.

You can see the shift happen almost instantly—their eyes light up, they smile widely, and they stand just a little bit taller.

It’s as if they believe that from that moment forward, they can do anything they set their mind to.

Whether a child in the classroom or a staff member on your team, the key to building a person’s confidence is showing them that they’re capable of doing hard things.

In this week’s bonus podcast episode, I provide several tips to help you start creating and nurturing a confident team. 

We’ll talk about:

  • My go-to strategy for encouraging independent decision-making
  • Why you should start talking less (counterintuitive, I know!)
  • The role of gratitude 
  • The best confidence shortcuts (HINT: There aren’t any!)

It’s time to start nurturing your staff’s confidence, so you can build a team that wants to stick around for the long-term.
