As people, we sometimes find ourselves in situations that leave us feeling uncomfortable and uneasy. As leaders, that\u2019s pretty much a constant.<\/p>\n\n
You know what I\u2019m talking about. It could be something positive\u2014maybe speaking to a large crowd, launching a new product, or re-upping an important client.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, it could be something negative\u2014a confrontational meeting, a disappointing phone call, or an ambush by hostile board members.<\/p>\n
In my experience, a leader\u2019s day is filled with a mix of both the positive and negative. And, if you\u2019re like me, we don\u2019t always feel up to either.<\/p>\n
Challenges are a constant, but confidence is not. It comes and goes. And I find I\u2019m usually on the low end right on the front end.<\/p>\n\t\t
