Self confidence really is key. If we believe in ourselves, we can do anything. If others see that you believe in yourself, they will begin to believe in you too. If we believe, we can achieve!

I like the idea that confidence is learned and done so through practice. I guess this is a concept I knew but never heard in this way. Practice, practice, practice, and then persistence in the face of adversity. I really like the self talk concept too, because I don't sit down and say I am the greatest there's probably a lot I cold benefit from that. I really like his talking points on inspiring confidence in others. Catch someone when they do something right and let them know who has done it right. Then also, look at failure as a way to reach your goal.

Having confidence in yourself is very important. I feel that people who do not show confidence in themselves seem to have other problems such as depression. Finding a way to boost confidence can help them. Although I am not always confident, I try to learn from my mistake and build confidence.

Repetition is key to building confidence for sales. But more importantly selling yourself. It's good to receive criticism from family before you get to whats important. These sort of practices will help one build confidence. If you don't believe in yourself no one else will.

The Skill of Self Confidence: Dr. Ivan Joseph at TEDx
Self-confidence is a very important asset to have in anything you do including business. Believing in oneself, and having the confidence, that you can achieve anything you put your mind to is very important when it comes to business. It is important to practice and become more confident within your career. For me, it would be beneficial for me to be more confident in my skill as an accountant. Self- confidence is a very important "skill" in the business world.

I love when a person can be themselves and happy and confindent and watching this video can/will make you just that. Great life video in general and parents look and learn from this. I liked how he picked his players for his soccer team, by do you have self-confidence or not. I like the write about yourself part. I have done that before and it works make you feel great inside and out of all the good you have done. While watching this video the saying praise in public, criticize in private kept coming up this is good for the business and personal world. Let everybody know when you do good it will bring people up and bad let that happen behind closed doors.

Definitely enjoyed the video and agreed with the message fully. Confidence is a really make or break confidence in all aspects of life. For along time of my life I have felt very insecure in writing. I hated writing; I did everything in my power to avoid. Now since I've been writing a lot more I've built up my confidence in writing. Furthermore, I understand it better and more comfortable writing. Now I don't cringe when I have to its more of second nature. I gained confidence in my writhing skills by tons of practice.

I enjoyed this video. I agree that self confidence is one of the most important skills that we can have. If we are confident in ourselves and our abilities then others will be more receptive to what we have to offer. No one is going to but a product from someone for instance who is not confident in what they are selling. If you can not convince yourself of something how are you going to convince others. I liked how he talked about practicing your skill over and over to become confident. It's true the only way to excel at something is to practice it over and over until you perfect it and are confident in it.

Self confidence is a powerful weapon when faced against overwhelming odds. It allows one to maintain their morale when others lose all hope and it can inspire others to follow our footsteps. The act of belittling and tearing down each other, is not only hurtful to them but to ourselves as well because it keeps the viscous cycle alive.

I actually enjoyed this video. Self confidence is something that every person must possess in the business world. The business world is becoming increasingly competitive and people need to have confidence in themselves in order to set themselves apart. An employer can immediately tell whenever a person walks into an interview and is not confident in themselves. On the other hand, when you walk into an interview and are self confident employers can immediately see that. As a recent college graduate, I know that I do not possess the job experience that most employers are looking for so I always try to walk into an interview very confident. For example, I walk in and immediately extend my hand for a hand shake first. I think that this shows the employer that I am confident. Doing little things can show your confidence.

Self confidence is really important in everything that you do. With the work that I do all employees need to have self confidence, if they don't then out company would not be sudccessful. In order to have self confidence the guy in the video says you must have to skill. The skill of knowing something you must practice in order to get better and better so that you can be self confident. This video is very self motivating i'm glad it was in one of our link of the days. I believe that without self confidence you won't be prideful and be successful in business.

I needed to hear this. We need to do something over and over to know that we can do and the confidence just flows in. I try to build myself up when I feel like I am not adequate. I try to affirm my abilities right before a meeting and prepare my mind for rejection. I also liked that he called it a skill because it can be learned.

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.

Dr. Ivan is right. It takes a little bit of practice to ensure that self confidence is there and is there to stay. I have had to practice my speech plenty of times. Alone in front of a mirror, then in front close friends and family, then finally in front of a group of my peers. Each times, I am nervous. But I am never as nervous as I am the time prior. I have more room to grow and perfect the art of public speaking. But my level of self confidence in public speaking has grown tremendously.

Conveying self confidence can take anyone much farther than if they seemed unsure of themselves. Working on ones own self confidence can help that individual believe in themselves, thus accomplishing more in the long run. I think most successful people, if not all, are very confident with themselves.
