Confidence…
Greetings!
In my recent travels I have observed people who appeared confident and those who did not. But how did I tell? Was it the way they walked, dressed, and carried themselves? It was all of the above.
But is that all? I believe that self confidence is an attitude that is characterized by a positive belief that one can take control of one’s life and one’s plans. So confidence begins internally and then is seen, heard, and felt externally.
As I thought about confidence I came up with an attribute for each letter in the word confidence. Check them out and see if you agree…
C Communicate effectively
O Openness
N Negativity is a “no no”
F Fortitude
I Imagination
D Determination
E Empathy
N Natural—be yourself
C Connectivity
E Enthusiasm
What others can you contribute to the list? What do people see in you that creates confidence?
As always, please respond and share your thoughts and ideas!
