Humble Confidence: Presented by: Kris Kelso, PCC November 7, 2025 | 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. ET
You’re ambitious; you’re a risk taker; and you’re highly successful. Yet, in the rapidly evolving world of business, you regularly find yourself in new territory - learning as you go. And that's okay! Because we’re good at pretending we have the answers we know how to ACT like an expert while we get up to speed. You know — we just “fake it ‘til we make it.” Ironically, “faking it 'til you make it” doesn't boost your confidence. There’s that nagging feeling in the back of your mind, that this just might not work. It turns out that false pretense doesn’t help your leadership (or your clients) either. One of the fastest ways to build trust, land clients, and get leadership buy-in is to leverage Humble Confidence. Humility and Confidence are not opposites – they’re partners. When you’re Humbly Confident, you can stand in what you know, and be honest about what you don’t know. You can leverage vulnerability as a powerful tool, rather than seeing it as a weakness. Kris Kelso will expose the flaws in that old way of thinking, identify the traps that many successful people fall into, and give you the tools to recognize and escape from those traps when you encounter them. In this webinar you will learn:
Are you ready to embrace Humble Confidence? Kris Kelso is a keynote speaker, a two-time entrepreneur, a professional certified coach, and the author of “Overcoming the Impostor: Silence Your Inner Critic and Lead with Confidence“. Kris has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs, business owners, and their leadership teams as a coach, facilitator, and mentor. He is the Dean of Entrepreneurship at the Professional Christian Coaching Institute, a Business Coach at Heroic Public Speaking, an advisor and instructor at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, and is a contributing writer for Fast Company Magazine, Yahoo Finance, and The Nashville Business Journal.
