Confidence is a key to high performance. Unfortunately, confidence is often misunderstood and people overlook the most important part - self-worth.

Most people struggle with self-confidence because the self-talk in their head is their own worst enemy. Here are 4 other reasons why people struggle with self-confidence:

• Yo-Yo Confidence: Tying their self-image to external results or praise
• Imposter Syndrome: Believing they are not worthy and/or don’t belong
• Victim Mentality: Blaming others and not taking responsibility
• Negativity Bias: Constantly beating yourself up and overly focusing on the negatives
