Self-efficacy – Future Skill for Leadership & Resilience
Today we're talking about the topic of self-efficacy .
A word that will hopefully pique your curiosity. Because it contains a small detail that makes a big difference: We deliberately capitalize "WE".
What does self-efficacy mean?
Self-efficacy is the confidence in one's own abilities to successfully overcome challenges and to actively influence one's own future.
It strengthens the feeling of agency and competence – and has been proven to have a positive impact on motivation, resilience, and creativity . This makes self-efficacy one of the crucial future skills of our time.
Self-efficacy arises from togetherness
But true self-efficacy doesn't arise solely within the individual. It arises from interaction with others.
Self-efficacy arises in relationships; that is, it changes depending on the situation and environment. Even though it begins with introspection, it often manifests more strongly in the reflection of others.
When people strengthen each other, feel seen, and unfold their impact first individually and then together – then magic happens, for themselves and others.
The ability to actively shape the future
Self-efficacy is the ability to actively shape change with clarity and commitment – in one's own mind, in the team, and in the system. And the knowledge that one is capable of this and has the confidence to take on such tasks.
The good news: Like any other skill, self-efficacy can be strengthened in a targeted way. With the right support, honest self-reflection – and small, consistent steps in everyday life.
Psychological roots – and future skills today
The term originally comes from psychology (Albert Bandura). Today, it is considered a key factor for motivation, resilience, and adaptability . The World Economic Forum ranks self-efficacy among the most important future skills of our time.
“Self-efficacy is one of the key competencies of the future – and is central to motivation, resilience and leadership in the digital age.”
– World Economic Forum
An online program for greater self-efficacy – specifically for women
When was the last time you felt truly EFFECTIVE?
What would you do if you were sure you could make a difference?
This is precisely where our new program comes in: strengthening self-efficacy – first in the I and then in the WE.
Three levels for sustainable impact
In live online sessions with all participants and afterwards in small mastermind groups, always interactively, we work on three levels:
Thinking – Gaining Clarity
Feeling – developing an attitude
Take action – have an impact
The goal: To empower participants to recognize and actively shape their sphere of influence. With courage. With focus. And in connection with themselves and with us.
From self-doubt to clarity. From feeling helpless to inner strength. From functional mode to active shaping mode.
Greater self-efficacy through the Circle of Influence
Coach Nathalie has prepared something for you: A preview of the program – for you or your team.
On our 3-page document we explain the Circle of Influence , there is a small reflection exercise and – if you like – also a 10-day challenge.
Simply explained, directly applicable and a powerful tool to strengthen self-efficacy in everyday life.
Why Self-Effectiveness fits with Connecting Humans
Why does the topic of self-efficacy fit so well with Connecting Humans ? Because self-efficacy is the foundation of social fitness – and social fitness is our mission.
We strengthen connection, trust, and the ability to change – in teams, organizations, and within yourself. Without self-efficacy, this wouldn't be possible.
People without personal responsibility, without clarity about who they are, what they can do and where they want to go, do not have a good relationship with themselves – and therefore not with others either.
For more clarity, connection, and effectiveness.
