Confidence 1-20: 9

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 8: Practise

Practise, practise, practise. So that you have done it before. So you are more confident. Never walk out on a stage without having articulated the words before. Never send that first draft of a mail without giving it 24h. Never consider those first sessions in the gym to be the real potential for you. All things are created twice: once mentally, then physically. Get deep inside your head, create the world you are about to enter. That's a route to confidence.

Routes To Confidence 7: Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway

That's a quote from from Susan Jeffers. Who said it was mean to be easy anyway? Prepare for the meeting, practise with a friend and during the meeting let perspiration drip down your back. But at the end you will feel great and you have started to re-train that client to deal with you professionally. Chase challenge, not comfort.

Routes To Confidence 6: Be Greater Than The Melodrama

Decide to be no longer sucked into the melodrama and anxiety of those who sit in the canteen complaining. Get some paper: the larger the better. Draw, yes draw your vision. Where do you want to be? Who do you want to be? What do you want to achieve? Stick it where you can see it. Being greater than the daily bull**it gives confidence. Go for it.

Routes To Confidence 5: Giant Leaps

Sometimes it pays to be bold. Go see the bank manger about your start-up plan. Start your family even though the flat is too small. Join the scuba class even though you need to borrow some money from your sister. It may seem that a 100% full-on plan will cause confidence. But sometimes the delay is causing it to evaporate. Sometimes just diving in will cause the confidence to follow. Try it and see.

Routes To Confidence 3: Work On Yourself.

We are all so busy now. It is so easy to communicate with us...that we get very little time to communicate with ourselves. When we do our fears get into proportion. We realise others worry, too.

Routes To Confidence 2: Switch your measure of success from being liked to being respected.

Being liked is for our personal lives; if it can spill over to our working life, all well and good. However trying to 'be liked' by everybody is unlikely to work. However you can be respected for your thoughts, intentions and achievements even if not everybody likes them nor you. As respect builds for you so your confidence will increase. Chase respect not 'niceness'.

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 2: Switch your measure of success from being liked to being respected.

Being liked is for our personal lives; if it can spill over to our working life, all well and good. However trying to 'be liked' by everybody is unlikely to work. However you can be respected for your thoughts, intentions and achievements even if not everybody likes them nor you. As respect builds for you so your confidence will increase. Chase respect not 'niceness'.

Routes To Confidence 1: Get Really, Really Good At Something

Being good at something inspires confidence in ourselves. It feels good. It's grounding, a base, a stress-free place. Whether it's sewing, fixing cars, painting, leading teams, resolving software issues decide to get really, really, really good at something. This can take time, this can take us through frustrating periods. But absolutely definitely it's a route to great confidence.
