In this post, I'll talk about how you can find balance between humility and confidence – something that's particularly important as a new entrepreneur or manager. By keeping this balance in mind, you'll be able to keep your ego in check while still shining through with your best qualities!

It's about your attitude.


With a new attitude, it’s easy to find balance between humility and confidence. Here are some ways to change your attitude:

  • Be humble in situations where you need to be confident. If you have a job interview or presentation coming up, get into the right mindset by thinking of your strengths and skills that will benefit your work. Think about what makes you uniquely qualified for this job or project, and practice talking about those things confidently until they feel natural when saying them out loud. If someone asks for feedback on how they did after an interview, share positive comments first—then choose one area where improvement could be made before offering suggestions for next time.
  • Put yourself in other people's shoes when communicating with them—even if it's difficult because of how different their personality is from yours! For example, if someone is more outgoing than usual during a conversation with friends who don't know each other very well yet (like at an event), put yourself in their shoes by thinking about how difficult it would be if all eyes were suddenly focused on YOU instead; then try saying something encouraging like “Don't worry! You'll have plenty of time next week too!"

Think about what really matters to you.


This is a good time to take a step back and really think about what matters to you. What are your values? What are your goals? What do you want out of life? Once you have answered these questions, it will be easier for you to identify what's truly important to you and then find ways to balance humility and confidence accordingly.

Be kind to yourself when you make mistakes.


When you’re in a tough situation, it can be difficult to stay positive. You may feel like you have no idea what you’re doing, or that everyone else has it so much easier than you. When this happens, try to remember: nobody is perfect, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes.

It's important to take time every day to reflect on your goals and priorities in life—this will help guide your choices and keep them in line with what truly matters most. If your goals are clear then there will be less room for second guessing yourself when making decisions in the moment; therefore having more confidence when pursuing those choices confidently!

If not enough time has passed since making mistakes (or even wondering whether or not they were) then maybe consider asking someone else who cares about how things go (parents included!). The response might not always help but if nothing else at least talking about it helps remove some stress from being concerned about something alone all day long."

Be more interested than interesting.


One of the most important ways to build confidence as a leader is by demonstrating humility. It’s not enough just to be humble; you also have to act humble. The way you act when you are with others will help people know that they can trust and rely on you as a leader, because it shows them that you are interested in them and what they think, not just yourself and your opinions.

The best way to demonstrate both humility and interest is by asking questions instead of making statements or giving orders all the time. When someone else speaks up at a meeting, don't cut them off or talk over them—let them finish their thought so everyone knows exactly where they stand on an issue before talking about it yourself! If someone asks for advice from another person in the group (instead of yourself), try being quiet while listening intently instead of taking over right away with an answer because this will give others confidence knowing that someone else has control over situations even though no one wants any troublemakers around their lives...

Love what you do but remember it is not who you are.


If you love what you do and are good at it, that's awesome. But don't get too attached to your job—or even worse, allow your job to define who you are. Your career is just one part of the many things that make up who you are.

If possible, find a way to enjoy both sides of this dichotomy: being humble enough to acknowledge what others contribute but confident enough in yourself and your abilities so that others will accept your contributions as well.

Have a strong support group around you that can help keep you humble and provide perspective.


Having a strong support group around you is important, especially when it comes to staying humble. You want people who can help keep you grounded and provide perspective. It's also ideal if they have the same goals as you do, so that they'll be able to inspire you and hold you accountable for sticking to those goals.

When trying to figure out who will best fit into your support system, think about your interests and values. Are there any particular people in your life whose opinions align with yours? If so, reach out and get connected with them! You may not have thought of these people before as being possible sources of guidance or motivation; but once they become part of your inner circle, they'll be there whenever a time comes when you need them most—and that can make all the difference between success and failure.

Seek opportunities to learn from other people with different perspectives and knowledge than you have – seek out their advice and learn from them!


One of the best ways to get over your fears and build confidence is to reach out to people who have different backgrounds, knowledge, and experiences than you do. Seek out opportunities where you can learn from other people with different perspectives. The process of seeking advice from others will help you expand your own ability to think critically about situations, improve your skills in problem-solving, provide insights into areas of expertise that may be new to you, and allow for an exchange of ideas between two individuals (or more!).

In addition to seeking out opportunities in which other people share their knowledge with us – whether on a formal basis such as a class or lecture or informally through friendships – we should also seek out those people who are smarter than us! We need these mentors because they can help us improve our decision making by giving us advice based on their experience rather than our own gut instincts alone."

Find your balance


To find your balance, it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really matters to you. Be kind to yourself when you make mistakes and be more interested than interesting.

Love what you do but remember it is not who you are.


Finding your balance is a journey and one that you will constantly be working on. It's not easy to just put on your “humble hat”, but if you keep going after it, the benefits are worth it! The more comfortable you get being yourself and sharing who you really are with others, the more confident and secure in who they feel too.
