The back-story:
Most of the time we'd like to be confident. To ask her out, to present with flair, to believe in our business idea, to finally start our family, to push back on our boss, to take some family time and not worry about e-mail.....Confidence is critical to our success and our health. It's easily lost: a negative comment, a rejection, a subdued audience, poor management. But too much of it and we lose our judgement and we drift towards arrogance.
So: confidence. How to develop it. How not to lose it. And how to use it.
Routes To Confidence 11: Ask an expert
Find someone who's good at the skill you want to develop e.g. establishing your point with senior people, for example. And ask them how they do it. You'll need to probe a little to get the detail but it will be enlightening especially as they reveal their own worries and insecurities.
