Confidence-enabling environments: the business case
Confidence-enabling environments: the business case
With Ana Indoitu, Director of People, Operations & Growth
Conventional wisdom puts the responsibility of confidence building on the individual: improve your mindset, practice your pitch, repeat positive affirmations and avoid panic. Yet even the most capable people struggle to contribute when the environment is unclear, punitive or dismissive. A seed can have all the potential in the world; it still will not thrive in barren soil.
This workshop builds of my professional journey as an enabler – shifting the question from “How can people become more confident?” to “What are we doing as organisations – intentionally or accidentally – to make confidence possible?”
We will explore how leaders and organisations can create the “fertile soil” for people to speak up, take healthy risks, learn from mistakes and bring innovation to work. Because confidence is not only an individual trait – it is also a reflection of the conditions we build around people.
And when those conditions are right, confidence stops being a motivational slogan and becomes a competitive advantage.
What to expect:
The answers to the following 3 questions:
- Why confidence matters to organisations?
- What makes a culture confidence-enabling?
- How to enable confidence for individuals and teams?
