Preparation will not only fortify your confidence to approach life from a position of strength, but it will impress other people as well.
Self-confident people tend to be optimistic thinkers and focus on the positives.
Just be Nice. Nice – this little word has a big meaning. Use it generously. Being nice helps people feel emotionally safe, allowing for more authentic, trusting, and happy interactions.
Be Brave. Bravery takes fortitude – put yourself on the line, even if you risk failing, falling, being embarrassed, or looking stupid – if being brave were easy, more people would be. Just try it!
Take the Initiative. Be proactive. If you want to rock your relationship results, it is going to take action, effort, initiative, and choosing to get in the game – so, step up, step out, and show up!
True confidence is not something that can always be determined by a first impression. It may take a few interactions to detect whether a person is full of false bravado or if they are the “real McCoy.
Even something as simple as ending a sentence with the tone of a question mark rather than a period can diminish a person’s authority and credibility.
Even the smartest and most successful of people will experience lower self-confidence occasionally, but the difference is that they deliberately shift out of it and refuse to stay there.
Walk the talk and project confidence. If at first you don’t feel confident, fake it until you make it.
Passionate people are great about discovering what lights their fire and going for it. They might be encouraged by others who share their passion, but they don’t rely on others to tell them what they need to do or how they need to do it.
When employees are motivated and love what they do you will see higher productivity, less turnover, healthier communication, increased loyalty, and a happier environment.
Put the right people in the right positions to ensure their personal strengths and talents are being utilized and appreciated.
If you want to improve performance and productivity, set a vision that inspires and delights.
