Skill and confidence are two different things. You may not be skillful enough to do something and that is OK. But when you loose your confidence or doubt your self that is something totally different.
Have you ever met someone who can confidently tell you he does not know what to do?
Well. Now you have met me. Most people think confidence is only about competence. It is not the case. While they are related and one often drives the other they are not interdependent.
I have met a lot of very good mechanics who had a lot of confidence but no competence what so ever. And I have also met a lot of engineers who have a lot of competence but no confidence in themselves. Both situations are dangerous and although they are not mutually controlling each other, they do have a serious impact on the other.
A lot of confidence with no competence is like a used car sales man.
A lot of competence with no confidence is like a blind gunner.
Both can be dangerous.
So what steps are you taking today to access your confidence and competence?
