Leverage Your Design Skills to Boost Confidence
A lack of confidence can make it difficult to make decisions, grow, and, ultimately, fulfill your potential. The ambiguity and complexity inherent to the design profession exacerbates the issue, challenging you to maintain confidence while constantly navigating new and unknown situations.
While power posing and affirmative self-talk can offer a momentary boost, lasting confidence is built through exercising curiosity. This approach allows anyone to utilize their design skills of exploration and experimentation to overcome the confidence gap.
