Being more confident

is an important part of all of us growing up and
being active, productive members of our communities.

So often I’ve seen people not reach their full potential because something inside them held them back, they lacked confidence and often times this feel of lack, on their behalf, was undeserved.

It’s frustrating as a business manager and/or leader to see people struggle with interaction with others simply because the person in question just does not “back themselves”.

Sure, it’s important to be humble and to respect the views of others and treat people as you would be treated, but none the less being confident makes life a lot more fun and a whole bunch more interesting.

People often marvel (and comment upon) my ability to strike up a conversation with anyone - and I mean pretty much anyone!  I was lucky in that I was in a professional sense to be trained and developed in an environment where I’d have daily interaction with everyone from CEO’s and business owners, factory workers, line staff, teachers, students and all manner of people from all walks of life.

Confidence for me did not come easy to start with.  At school I was the smallest kid in the class, got picked on some but was always personable. Many thought of me as shy.

However, when I started my first business at the age of 21, I soon learnt that to be successful in business you had to sell. And to sell you had to talk. And to talk, that meant getting out of the office and meeting people.

So I cold called pretty much all of the commercial areas  of the town.

I would sell everything from a single paper roll for a calculator, weird batteries for early adding machines and phones or anything relatively office technology/automation related  (this is like over 20 years ago when I started my first PC business) - in time my confidence grew as did my ability as a sales person.

Being more confident is nothing more than practicing, having some guidance and the tools to make it easy to understand and work with your own feelings, fears and emotions so that you can indeed be as effective as you know you can be.
