Vanessa Van Edwards says confidence grows when you surround yourself with supportive people. She recommends building a personal board of directors: three to five trusted people who share your goals and give honest feedback. Meet them monthly or quarterly to discuss progress and celebrate wins.
a really great way to start to build confidence, being around people who make you feel capable and confident so that you can have those moments where you're like, yes, I got this. And then you get that feedback from people saying, you did great. Wow, you rocked that meeting. That was so clear. Thank you so much for doing that. So focusing on the top half of this circle means surrounding yourself with people who are like-minded, who you respect, who want to support you. I call this a personal board of directors or a mastermind. This is 3 to 5 people who you respect, who give you really good advice, and you know support you. I highly, highly recommend thinking of 3 to 5 people who you can bring in as your board of directors. Maybe once a month or once a quarter, you check in, you go out to lunch, you tell them your goals, they tell you theirs, you run advice by them, you help each other succeed.
