What Happy Customers Are Saying

Even though I have been in leadership for a number of years, I was able to take away new strategies not only for myself, but for the leadership around me. It was also nice to spend time on self-reflection, which is something that most people don’t regularly prioritize.

The course modules were well organised and I was able to stay in contact with Ben during the course via the lesson comments or email – this was really helpful for me.

About Ben, the Course Creator

Hi, I’m Ben Brearley. I created Thoughtful Leader and a I’m an experienced leader and leadership coach.

I know what it’s like to experience self-doubt and second-guess yourself in leadership, because that’s what I used to do early in my career.

Over time I developed and gathered a bunch of tools and techniques to help me with it, so I’ve packaged them up in this course to help you build confidence too.

That’s why I created the Leadership Confidence Online Course to help you believe in yourself and reduce overthinking and self-doubt, which can be very common for thoughtful leaders. 

Have questions? Here are some of the common ones people ask me about the course.

The course is hosted on Podia, a secure online learning platform. You’ll be given access as soon as you enrol.

Using this platform, you’ll be able to access everything you need to complete the exercises and you can also leave comments and ask questions along the way.

Podia saves your progress as you go, and you can go at your own pace. I recommend completing a module at least every 1 or 2 weeks so you have time to work on the exercises as you go.

I recommend spending a few hours per week, and trying to complete at least one module each week.

Some of the exercises in the course involve bringing the course material into your day to day working life and trying things out, so these can take longer.

The exercises also involve some self-reflection, which I feel is a very important part of building confidence.

So slow down, take your time and don’t rush!

Great question! Yes, people feel a lack of confidence for many reasons – there really is no “one size fits all” solution for building confidence.

However, this course starts by setting a foundation for building confidence.

The first two modules focus on understanding confidence and doing a self-assessment of where you’re at – and the third module gives you specific tools for working through common leadership situations, such as handling difficult conversations, for example.

The exercises are designed for you to apply the course material to your role and workplace – carrying out the exercises will help to raise your self-awareness and help you take action in your specific situation.

Obviously, improving confidence is not a quick fix – it takes time and repetition. That means trying new things, failing and succeeding. Some people grow in confidence faster than others.

One thing to keep in mind is that you may never feel *completely* confident.

Leadership is tough and even the very greatest leaders will experience uncertainty and doubt. The difference is that these leaders still take action. They don’t wait to feel completely confident – they take action and feel more confident on the other side.

The objective of this course is to help you take action, which will gradually help you to improve your confidence over time.

We aren’t aiming for 100% confidence, which doesn’t really exist. Instead, we are looking to help you feel confident enough to take the actions you need to take.

This course takes you through a series of exercises which help you to:

  • Identify the areas which cause you to feel vulnerable (where you lack confidence)
  • Identify areas where you’d like to be better – to improve your performance
  • Work on your personal challenges and identify strategies to overcome them
  • Develop strategies to improve your resilience and strengthen your mindset for the future.

In other words, this course sets you a great foundation for building confidence.

Yes, you will feel more confident and in-control after the course, but you will also have tools and techniques to help you move forward and improve even further after the course is over!

Probably the most important benefit of the course is that it will raise your awareness of how you feel and respond in different situations – so you’ll be able to overcome your challenges a whole lot easier and be the leader you want to be.
