You’re Closer Than You Think Anchoring Your Confidence

This article will discuss the confidence that you already have and how you can move forward with action to grow your skills, visibility and impact.

So many NPs believe that confidence is something you either have or don’t have.

But in reality, confidence is built in small moments of action.

It’s built every time you: ✅ Decide to apply for something new. ✅ Share your perspective in a meeting. ✅ Take a step toward your own business.

Confidence doesn’t wait for you to feel perfectly ready. It grows because you choose to move forward in spite of doubt.

Evidence of Your Capability

If you’re reading this, you’ve already overcome challenges that once felt impossible.

You’ve:

• Navigated complex patient situations.

• Learned countless protocols and skills.

• Adapted to change again and again.

That evidence matters. When you feel unsure, come back to it.

One Question to Move Forward

Ask yourself: What’s one step I’ve been delaying because I’m waiting to feel more confident?

Then, take that step even if your voice shakes. Even if you’re not 100% sure.

Because the moment you act, you start collecting new evidence that you can trust yourself.

Confidence doesn’t come first. Action does.

If you’re ready to design a plan to grow your skills, your visibility, and your impact, I’d love to be your guide.
