Can you hack confidence?

Without fail, at every keynote or workshop I deliver, someone asks me, “What are the easiest, fastest confidence hacks?” It’s a natural question, right? Especially when I share the research that shows we don’t really learn how to be confident until we’re 60 years old. 

The good news is there’s definitely a shortcut. We CAN hack confidence in the sense that we can develop it well before we turn 60, but it’s not quite as easy as flipping a switch - despite what you’ll find if you start searching around on the Internet. 

Common advice runs the gamut from striking power poses to conscious breathing to having a gratitude practice. There’s nothing wrong with these techniques – I love and use them in a moment of upset, panic or overwhelm – but for real confidence, the kind that lasts and is sustainable, it’s not about what you do, or even about what you think confidence is: it’s about HOW you think.

Are you ready to partner with your brain to hack your confidence? I get into this and more in this episode of Real Confidence.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

  • How the way we think about being confident differs from general thinking
  • The role certainty plays in decision-making and what decision-making has to do with confidence
  • Why what you do after you strike that pose or take that deep breath is the key to real confidence
  • How sleep – and lack of it – biologically impacts our ability to be confident; and
  • The superpower of asking questions when you’re in a confidence-challenging situation
