The John Eades Podcast

Confidence is contagious, and it's essential in leadership. Confidence is best defined as the belief in oneself and one's ability to succeed. It comes from a Latin word meaning "to have full trust." Confidence is not cockiness or arrogance. It is not masking gaps inside by portraying something different on the outside. Authentic confidence is built through consistent daily repetition.
