Why do you think Self-perception and Self-confidence can mould a person? Self-perception is a person's view of himself or herself or of any of the mental or physical attributes that constitute the self. Such a view may involve genuine self-knowledge or varying degrees of distortion. Also called self-percept. Positive self-perception helps us cope with inevitable workplace situations like rejection and failure in a healthy way. Self-perception includes two, core perceptual processes: our self-concept, or the picture we have in our heads of who we are; and our self-esteem, or how we judge and evaluate those traits. Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. A healthy sense of self-confidence is all about having a balanced view of yourself — taking pride in your abilities while recognizing your flaws. Self Confidence helps to earn the Trust and Respect of your colleagues. In leadership, one of the biggest benefits and importance of self-confidence is trust.
