Developing Confidence as a Leader - CMI Level 5
There are numerous reasons why the modern leader may lack confidence in themselves, and many leaders suffer from a lack of self-confidence. Sometimes this can be due to a lack of support or adequate training prior to being promoted, but in many cases, the leader may be conflicted with feelings of self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
Building confidence helps us to improve our health, wellbeing, and happiness. It helps us to introduce ourselves to new people, make a good first impression, apply for that promotion or take on a challenging project. For leaders it helps those around us to buy in to what we’re about – especially when times are tough.
The modern leader may feel like they live in a goldfish bowl of critical feedback and judgement, where saying or doing the wrong thing can feel catastrophic and where positive feedback seems hard to come by.
This course is designed to lift the veil on building confidence in leadership practice. By looking at the psychology which underpins how we operate individually and in groups, we will encourage a mindful, deliberate and reflective approach to improvement. Delegates will reflect on themselves and their own practice and learn how to put in place strategies for self-development which will naturally increase their confidence and assertiveness. They will feel empowered and able to improve their impact on those around them.
