Communication Psychology and HR – with Gerhard Ohrband

Are you Type 1 or Type 2 self-confident?

07 Jul 2025

Description

Most people think self-confidence means always being in control, nevershowing weakness, always looking sharp. But psychology says otherwise.In this episode, I explore two radicallydifferent forms of self-confidence:·       Type 1:The polished, flawless image we project.·       Type 2:The quiet strength to admit mistakes, ask questions, and show our human side.Which one builds better relationships, trust,and long-term impact—especially in leadership and communication?Let’s rethink what it really means to be confident.#leadership #selfconfidence #communication#psychology #authenticity #podcast Recommended reading:Kernis, M.
