Does your confidence match your track record?

Confidence can be checked against outcomes over many predictions. If events you label 80% likely occur about eight times out of ten across a large enough set, that level is well calibrated. One failed prediction does not by itself disprove the estimate, because 80% still leaves room for failure.

Treat entrusted information as belonging to its owner

When someone shares a personal concern with you, they have chosen one audience. Retelling it to another friend changes that audience, even if you mean well. Checking before passing it on respects the difference between being trusted with information and being authorised to distribute it.

Self-efficacy concerns a specific ability, not your overall worth

Self-efficacy is a belief about whether you can carry out a particular task. Someone may feel capable of analysing a spreadsheet but unsure about presenting the result aloud. These beliefs can influence effort and persistence without providing a perfect measurement of the person's actual skill.
