Below, Dr. GB Hewawasam offers a strategic approach for leaders to enhance their confidence.
“Everything within your control belongs to you, while that which lies beyond your control does not. The fundamental concept here is power. Whatever is unstable and uncomfortable is not under your power. Personalization shapes one’s personality. When you cease personalizing, your personality ceases to exist. Coming to this understanding empowers leaders to excel in any situation they encounter.” – Gamini Hewawasam, PhD
