I thought this video was great! To me personally, you can have all of the right skills but if you don’t have the confidence, you won’t make it very far past the door. Tons of people in life will tell you that you can’t do something but if you want something badly enough, you will achieve it. I feel like managers really need to use the technique that the speaker mentioned about having to catch someone when they do something right instead of when they do something wrong. As stated in the video, it will build up one person’s confidence and save another person’s feelings. It’s a technique my ballet teacher will use often. If someone performs a technique correctly, she will say how great the student did and sometimes ask if they can demonstrate it for the rest of the class so we can all learn from it. Again, great technique and great video.

In the video, he believes self-confidence can be trained. Repetition. The ability to practice is key. A lot of people bail often. Do not expect failure. These are some of the point he hits on in the video. Self confidence in the business world is so important to be successful.

You must be confident in yourself in order to achieve your goals. If you have low self-esteem you will not get very far in life I believe. Some may call it cockiness but you just have a belief in yourself that your going to get what you want.

Everyone should work on thier self confidence because this trait is the best way to help you reach your goals in life. As we work on our own self confidence, we should also help others with thier own, because help and praise from others is a great way to build self confidence.

People need self confidence in order to be successful in life. They need to be confident on the field when they are playing sports, as well as in the business. Repetition is a key to gaining self confidence. We need to ensure that the task we are completing is second nature. If we can practice something enough, we can gain confidence. The problem is that people fail one time, and then they quit. If you do not accept failure, you will gain self confidence. Another way to gain confidence is self talk. We need to speak positive to ourselves. We should also get away from negative people. Being positive and staying around positive people is key to gaining self confidence. I see people with low self confidence on a daily basis at my job. I try to help people learn math by tutoring them, and they many times they have low self confidence because they give up too soon. I try to encourage them to help them feel better about themselves, and get them through their class.

I found this video very interesting. I have quit things once they got too hard, and I’m sure others have also. The key is to stick with whatever task you have, practice it, and let it become second-nature/a reflex to you. Whatever you aren’t good at, but would like to be, you must practice at it. The old term “practice makes perfect” is the best answer to this issue. Practicing what you aren’t good at only improves your ability to perform, and once you become better you build your confidence.

self confidence is huge! one of the best ways we can represent ourselves is to show self confidence. if we are confident in our abilities then we are able to convey the understanding that we are very able to get the job done!

Having confidence as soon as you walk into a room is golden. When you give off the impression as if you know what you are doing and talking about, convinces people. Once you have convinced people, they will end up following in your direction. It is a skill just as the speaker said. When you believe in yourself you are to die for. It is a true skill. When you don't have a single ounce of nervousness is good. Great video will def share.

I think that self confidence is a great thing and not all people have it. I think, also, that it can show in different ways. Some people are self confident in business, but not in their personal lives, and vice versa. I think that if we have the knowledge that is only the first step. Having the self confidence to represent that knowledge is how we can get to be great business people.

I like this video because self confidence is very important. Because if a person isn't confidence in themselves know one else will and so self confidence is reflection of who you are as a person and where you to want to be in life but another important aspect is to have people believe in you when it's hard to believe in yourself.

I really how clear he is in this video. So often people have a hard time understanding what self confidence is. In order to get anywhere in your life, you have to have self confidence. I have learned this through my experiences and I have also seen many people fail because of their lack of self confidence. Having a passion is a great start. If you're passionate about what you're doing, you're most likely going to be confident while doing it. For some, self confidence comes natural, but for others, it is something that must be learned.

Extracurricular activities like athletics are a great way to connect self confidence to our careers. It's important to know that you are able to do anything you put your mind to and sports are a way to illustrate this. I think children or teens who have participated in these types of activities have more self confidence than children who do not. Like the speaker states, repetition or practice is one way to build your self confidence. Positive self talk is also a great way to increase self confidence and I really liked his example of a positive self letter to report to in times of negativity. Lastly, I really found his point about self confident people making their own perception of challenges very interesting.

Self-confidence is such an important quality for every individual no matter what their profession is. A person is said to have self-confidence if they believe that they can do what they set out to do, no matter how many obstacles come their way. It does not take long to know whether a person has self confidence or not. Many people struggle with it on a day to day basis. In the business world, it is all about selling yourself> If you believe in what you're selling, so will others.

Of course you need self confidence. And of course it matters. I haven't heard someone say you need less self confidence... being arrogant and self confident are two totally different things to me so don't get confused on what I am saying. The sports analogies seem to stay with people more and or they relate easier to the message. I think we all could use more in a variety of tasks in our lives.
