Humble confidence

 Humble confidence


To be a leader, you must be confident in yourself. Others have to be able to trust you and your decisions. Confidence shows that they can put their trust in you and you will make the right decisions. 


Can a leader be confident to a point where they lose respect? Most definitely. This is the purpose of humble confidence. Leaders are respected because they show they have the ability and confidence to lead. The ability to lead does not solely come from confidence, but also their ability to be humble. 


Humble leaders make it easy for others to approach them. They create more leadership opportunities by giving others the ability to follow. It is hard to follow a leader who is too egoistic. An egoistic leader worries too much about themself to truly have a team mindset. Egoistic leaders may have the charisma and popularity, but they are nowhere near as effective as leaders with humble confidence.


When working on humble confidence, envision your perception to others. Be open about who you are and how you appear. Typically we don’t think we are arrogant but to others we may seem arrogant. Arrogance does not bring respect. Ask your peers for true feedback. Seek constructive criticism and be open to changing. Humble leaders focus on how they can better lead others so being open to feedback shows they are ready to learn.


A good leader puts their followers first. They are always focused on how to lead better. A humble leader is open to criticism. A confident leader is certain in their decisions. Combining the two creates a leader who is ready to grow themself and ready to develop others.

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
