Communication Is a Confidence Skill

Confidence grows in environments where communication is safe.

From an educational perspective, communication skills—listening, clarity, boundary-setting—shape relational outcomes. Active listening, so as to value and validate the person talking, is key to building relationships to make them stronger.

As a mentor, I want to affirm that healthy relationships allow you to express uncertainty without fear. You don’t have to be strong to be respected. The relationship being strong is what makes it last and survive.

Relational confidence grows when you are heard and honored and when you do the same for others.
