The Confidence Blueprint: How ‘Be Seen’ Builds Your Inner Warrior

Many people believe confidence is something you either have or don’t. Jen Gottlieb’s 'Be Seen' shatters this myth by showing that confidence is a muscle you can train, grow, and strengthen over time. The book’s cornerstone is the Six Cs of Confidence: Clarity, Community, Commitment, Creation, Consistency, and Celebration. Each 'C' represents a vital component of a holistic confidence-building practice.

Clarity involves knowing what you want and why, which directs your energy efficiently. Community provides support, accountability, and encouragement, reminding you that you’re not alone. Commitment is the promise you make to yourself to show up, even when it’s uncomfortable. Creation is the act of taking tangible steps toward your goals, building momentum with each action. Consistency is about showing up repeatedly, making small investments that compound. Celebration acknowledges progress, reinforcing belief and motivation.

The Rule of 51 Percent is a liberating concept that encourages action when you feel just a bit more confident than doubtful. Waiting for perfect certainty often leads to paralysis; instead, embracing imperfection and taking imperfect steps builds real confidence.

The Badass List complements this by cataloging your achievements, big and small. Reading this list with a self-distancing technique helps overcome imposter syndrome, allowing you to internalize your worth and progress without harsh judgment.

Building confidence is a journey, not a destination. It requires patience, self-compassion, and persistence. 'Be Seen' provides the tools and mindset shifts necessary to transform fear and doubt into courage and self-trust. By integrating these practices into daily life, anyone can cultivate the inner warrior ready to face challenges and seize opportunities.
