The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDx
Self-confidence is a very important "skill" to have in anything you do; no matter if its soccer, basketball, or business. Believing in yourself, and having the confidence, that you can achieve anything you put your mind to is very important when it comes to business. If that self-confidence doesn't come natural for whatever you are doing, then it is important to practice and become more confident with it. For me, it would be beneficial for me to practice public speaking that way if I ever have to speak for my job, I will be confident in doing that. Self- confidence is a very important "skill" in the business world.

Self confidence will inspire others to be confident in us. We can practice our self confidence skills with repetition. Others are always going to say we can not do something but we have to motivate ourselves to continue trying anyway. Individual self talk should always be positive. Doing these things while taking feedback from others the way we want to take and not they way they send it will help as with our self confidence.

The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDx
This is a very motivating video. This is a message that is good to hear. Persistent repetition is valuable for success but we usually fail in that department. By doing something well we absolutely gain self confidence, but we must practice and fail a few times first. He has a great delivery because he seems very easy going and personable. I especially like one of his last statements, “We are supposed to be different folks.” Embrace what makes you different!

TITLE - The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDx The Power of self confidence, is an interest video and i like it. To be self confidence you need to believe in yourself before you can let other people to believe in you. I like the fact that he said it is a skill and anyone can acquire. The key to build a self confidence is repetition. You also need to get away from the people who are dragging you down. Stopping the negative self talk will also help to gain self confidence.

The video is very interesting. Self confidence is one of the most important skills that one must possess in order to succeed. It is that belief in oneself that encourages you to strive for your goals, no matter the difficulties or the adversities. The video makes one important point that self confidence is a skill for it can be trained. Repitition can aid in developing the skill. Doing the same thing again and gaian gives you the confidence. Also, one must be persistent towards his/her goal. You may fail a couple of times, or sometimes even more, but you should not give up hope. You should be persistent in achieving your goals.

Self confidence is the ability to belief in yourself to accomplish any task regardless the obstacle or challenge. It is important to notice that self confidence is a skill, not something that you are born with. Skills can be developed and there are developed through repetition, and more repetition! When you have done something so many times, you have developed the confidence that you can do it! Practice doesn't necessarily make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Persistence is important in developing your self confidence skill.

self confidence is a very important skill. Without that skill you won't get far in life. You need to be able to believe in yourself at all times to achieve. Not having a high self confidence can bring you down. You won't push yourself because you already think you can't do it. Having a high confidence helps you push yourself to success.

TITLE - The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDx
"No one will believe in you unless you do." That's a great quote by Joseph. He gave a good speech about self confidence. I like how he spoke about self-talk. Thoughts provoke action and we can choose to negatively or positively think of ourselves. Even when it comes to interpreting comments we can still interpret them in a positive manner to have a positive effect on the way we think. People can do greater things without negative thoughts.

Self confidence is not only a skill but a tool. If you can show your employer, your team members, and your fellow employees that you are self confident then you have achieved a point where you've proved to them that you will do whatever you can do to accomplish tasks. This video makes a great point in saying that self confidence isn't just a trait that you can pick up and claim to be self confident. Self confidence takes practice and repetition and you must work at it and constantly keep yourself motivated so you know that you know that you are the best you can be.

Self-confidence is the fundamental basis from which leadership grows. Trying to teach leadership without first building confidence is like building a house on a foundation of sand. It may have a nice coat of paint, but it is ultimately shaky at best. I have heard my teachers also stress the importance of self-confidence. In this video he talks about the best way to gain confidence is repetition. When you are giving a presentation in front of your class, it is important to practice. If you have practiced and repeated your speech over and over, you will be confident when you present it to the class. At the end of the day, leadership is about having the confidence to make great decisions.

TITLE - The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDx
Regardless of how many social skills you have; if you’re anxious then your brain won’t work properly. It’s always harder to think and speak clearly when we become agitated. So calming down is vital. But relaxing in social situations helps in another way too. If your body and face give the unconscious message that you’re nervous, it will be more difficult for others to relax with you making harder for you to build rapport with them.

Self confidence is a very pivotal skill anyone could ever have. Self confidence allows you to believe that you can do whatever you put your mind to. What's great about it is that it is something that can be trained and not only born with. I can completely agree with the fact that to learn or get better at anything is through repetition and practice. The ability to keep going and persevere through adversity will propel you to the next level.

The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDx I like this article because it explains the concept of self-confidence which some people have a hard time with. Self-confidence is explains as a skill that people should master in order to get where they want to be in there life. It helps you do whatever you want to do in your life whether big or small t helps people achieve what they set there minds to. it is something that people need to be trained to do because not everyone is born with self- confidence.
