What makes you feel confident? For me, sometimes it’s the small things… like remembering the time I did the Tarzan swing in Costa Rica which was basically jumping off a 60-foot platform and swinging into the air with nothing more than a hope and a harness.

On the intellectual side, confidence for me is also thinking about a few traits of mine, like my creativity and ingenuity, which set me apart from other coaches, especially in the way I apply creativity to my coaching practice. This always makes me feel confident. This post is about confidence – why? Many of my clients say they want more confident.
