How To Build Your Confidence And Be Bold As A Teacher.

Work on your confidence and be bold.

There should always be a reason why you are doing something or acting in a certain way and make sure it falls within the guiding principles. In case you bend any rule for any reason, have a rational explanation.

Be honest and ready to accept it in good faith when your shortfalls are exposed to you.

Be bold but not arrogant. Many people usually mistake arrogance and disrespect for being bold and confident. There’s a thin line between them.
