Confidence Reset: Centering Before You Step In

When you begin to doubt yourself in environments where you once felt sure-footed, it can create a loop of hesitation and self-reproach. Small moments—like stumbling on a basic question—can feel disproportionately large, shaking your confidence and prompting silent, ongoing self-critique. This strategy focuses on a simple, repeatable centering routine that quiets those spiraling thoughts before they take hold. Instead of walking into meetings with uncertainty, you’ll walk in with intention, presence, and a quiet trust in what you bring to the table.
