Ever been to an OBGYN who tries to insert a speculum but doesn’t know what the heck she’s doing? Not a good feeling. Ever tried to bungee off a bridge with a brand spanking new trainee who can’t get his knots right? Not a good feeling.

C.O.N.F.I.D.E.N.C.E is the key to feeling like you’re in good hands. Literally and figuratively. It’s a learned trait that can make or break your interaction with another person especially if the other person is supposed to be in a leadership position like a coach.
