Reviewed by Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite

Tricia Conyers’s Confidence Is Action is a practical self-help book for women who have been taught to treat confidence as a feeling, title, or public performance instead of a daily practice. Conyers uses a wedding conversation after leaving a twenty-year corporate career, when one cutting remark exposes how easily another person’s view can mar a new beginning. She identifies three confidence myths, explains the brain’s safety response to uncertainty, and asks readers to define confidence through metaphors drawn from real women. The Confidence Wheel gives readers a useful way to see where their own confidence needs practice. The personal accounts move the ideas into real life, as women name what they want and start behaving accordingly, with purpose, in their own lives.

Tricia Conyers’s Confidence Is Action is a useful self-help book, and Conyers is at her best when she turns a big idea into a step a reader can take today. I found the risk-reward ratio fantastic, because it asks readers to score the upside against the realistic downside before making a move. It gives fear a number instead of letting it run the room. I also loved Jodi Mathura’s Galt & Littlepage story, because inheriting her father’s company gives the advice a real business test. Jodi first tries to lead by copying the man whose name and methods built the company, but the stronger lesson comes when she stops borrowing his style and begins making decisions that fit her own. Conyers writes with the firm encouragement of a coach who has been where many of us are and absolutely wants to help raise us up. Well written and meaningful, women seeking self-help with real exercises will adore this.

As women, we often struggle with fears of failure and judgment, which can have a significant impact on our lives. For example, they may cause us to miss out on opportunities for promotion at work, keep us from sharing our ideas, or make us believe that we are not capable of great things. Therefore, we also tend to believe that confidence is something we are born with, which is why many people take a long time to recognize the inner strength they already possess. But in reality, we can all develop confidence. It doesn’t happen overnight; it develops little by little through every small opportunity we give ourselves to act differently. To help us find that inner strength, Tricia Conyers offers Confidence Is Action, in which she encourages us not to be afraid to dream, take action, and become a better version of ourselves.

I loved Tricia Conyers’ explanations because she shows us that confidence isn’t about speaking louder, being more dominant, or attracting more attention to ourselves. It’s about being ourselves and being more authentic. Confidence means living in the moment as we are, even when everyone around us is trying to change who we are. I also liked that the author suggests practical activities to strengthen our confidence, such as keeping a gratitude journal, while her genuine desire to help others is evident throughout the book. There’s even an inspiring section dedicated to real testimonials from other women who have gained confidence after facing their fears. Confidence Is Action demonstrates that self-confidence is built not by avoiding mistakes, but by persevering through them.

Have you ever wished you had more confidence? In the practical guide Confidence Is Action, Tricia Conyers explores what confidence really is. The book takes a fresh look at common beliefs about confidence. According to Conyers, confidence isn't something you're born with. Instead, it develops through action, self-awareness, and consistent practice. Those ideas come to life through her Confidence Wheel framework. Throughout the book, she uses it to help readers build it step by step. She also looks at the science behind confidence and what often gets in the way. Scattered throughout are reflection questions, hands-on exercises, and real-life stories from women who share their experiences. Are you ready to discover a different way of thinking about confidence?

I learned so much while reading Confidence Is Action by Tricia Conyers. When I saw this title, I knew I had to read it since I’m fascinated with psychology. So, learning that confidence isn't something you're born with really caught my attention. This guide doesn’t focus on theory and isn’t written like a textbook, which is a plus. The reflection exercises were valuable, too. One of the questions that stood out to me was, “What would change if you stopped trying to fit someone else’s definition?” I thought about my answer long after I was done reading. The writing was easy to understand and approachable without talking down to the reader. The addition of the real-life stories made the information even more relatable. Theodore Roosevelt said, "Believe you can, and you're halfway there." That quote really fits the message of this book. Anyone looking for personal development guides with more than just encouragement should pick this one up.

Building a business requires one thing above everything else: the willingness to act before you feel ready. Tricia Conyers has written the ultimate guide to doing exactly that. If you've ever let doubt slow you down, this book will change the way you move.

Tricia Conyers names something women have been told backwards for years: confidence doesn't come first - action does. This isn't another book asking you to think differently. It's a practical framework that shows you exactly where you're stuck and what to do about it. And here's what makes it matter beyond you: when one woman stops waiting and starts acting, the women around her do too.

In Confidence is Action, Tricia Conyers delivers a powerful and timely reminder to women that "confidence is not something you are born with, it is something you grow". In this book she combines insight with action. Her "Confidence Wheel" is an excellent tool for diagnosing, developing, and tracking personal growth. The emphasis on being brilliant (self-aware), brave (action-orientated), and bold (visible) offers a clear pathway for action. Particularly impactful are the closing chapters, where Caribbean women share their journeys with honesty and vulnerability—something rarely seen in small societies where success often masks struggle. This is a must-read and one I will confidently recommend to my female clients.

“Who am I to do this?” is one of the most common questions I hear. Confidence is Action helps you answer it in a practical, accessible, and structured way. The Confidence Wheel turns our often vague understanding of confidence into ten workable dimensions, paired with action steps you can take right now. But what makes this book truly powerful is the proof inside: real stories of women doing the work, answering “Who am I to do this?” the only way that counts: by doing it.

Jane Adshead-Grant

Confidence is so often misunderstood and seen as something to acquire, perform or prove. Yet in my experience of working with leaders over many years, true confidence emerges more quietly, when we are given the space to think, to be heard, and to reconnect with who we truly are.

This is exactly what Tricia offers in this insightful and deeply practical book.
Through her thoughtfully crafted framework, she brings confidence to life in a way that is both accessible and authentic. She guides the reader beyond self-doubt and external expectation, offering clear and meaningful ways to build confidence that is grounded, resilient and their own.

What shines through is her gift as a coach and facilitator creating the conditions for others to think more clearly, trust themselves more fully, and step forward with courage.

This is not a book that tells you who to be. It is a book that helps you become more of who you already are.

A powerful and timely contribution.

Tricia Conyers uses vignettes of her own life story to weave a compelling and elegantly argued narrative: when one woman strengthens her confidence, she elevates those around her. Confidence is Action invites readers to examine their inner landscape and engage deliberately in their own growth. Tricia positions confidence as a conscious, cultivated practice. And in her book, she provides the map to help women get there.
