Fernando Flores writes that confidence comes from knowing our competes and our incompetences.
There is nothing more terrifying that someone who is incompetent behaving confidently. If a toddler wants to cross a busy street by themselves …
If we want to be confident, it follows that becoming competent is required, so all we need to do is explore or incompetences - any skills we don’t have - and find a way of learning, by intentional practice, from a trusted teacher, or any way that learning can happen.
It can be that simple.
Here’s a question for you … Is there any area of your work where you would like to increase your competence? How could you learn to be more competent?

Hi Rob,
I really like this analogy, and for me this resembles Zen. I personally believe that far too often life becomes complicated with extraneous information from endogenous and or exogenous sources...
With very best wishesTony
