Make your development goal specific enough to practise
Turn an ambition such as confidence or self-leadership into a behaviour you can practise and follow over time.
“Become more confident” can mean different things to different people.
Choose a situation where you want to act differently. Perhaps you want to express your view in an important meeting instead of holding back.
Describe what you would do and what might make it difficult. Explore the thoughts and assumptions that appear. Prepare and practise a response that feels useful and realistic.
Decide where you will try it and how you will review the experience. Look at what you did, what happened and what you learned about your own ability to handle it.
Confidence is a broad goal. A specific behaviour gives you something to practise, reflect on and build over time.
