Confidence (Paperback)

Paperback. What if confidence isn't about being the loudest person in the room, but about being grounded in who you really are?Many capable, caring, gifted people struggle with self-doubt. They hold back their ideas, talk themselves out of opportunities, and quietly wonder, "Who do I think I am?" If that sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you are not stuck.In Confidence: What It Is, Where to Find It, and How to Nurture It, leadership consultant and researcher Terra Utter shows that real confidence isn't arrogance, fearlessness, or people-pleasing. It's a quiet, grounded belief that, with God's help and your own growing ability, you can meet what is in front of you. Drawing on research in self-efficacy and positive psychology and on the timeless wisdom of Scripture, this warm, practical guide shows how that kind of confidence is built.Inside, you'll discover: What confidence really is: how it differs from self-esteem, arrogance, and shrinking backWhy capable people feel like impostors: and how to break the cycle of self-doubtThe four proven sources of confidence: your own wins, the example of others, encouraging words, and a steady body and mindConfidence rooted in identity: why who God says you are matters more than how you performPractical tools: calming nerves, growing through mistakes, being kind to yourself, and taking small acts of courageHow to build confidence in others: as a parent, leader, mentor, or friendEvery chapter ends with a Scripture to hold, reflection questions, and a simple "Try This" exercise, so you can put each idea into practice right away.
