In today's business world, the ability to present yourself and your ideas confidently is paramount. And while today's society is growing so much more technical with unlimited options in real-time social interaction, it is not enough to be good at emails, texting, skyping, blogging, etc. With all these technologies, we must continue to have conversations, give presentations, and influence those around us face to face if we expect to be able to make change happen.

And of course, there are many people out there that do this in a seemingly confident way. Interestingly though, there are levels of low confidence at all levels - even in the highest positions. Even more interestingly is that in asking my clients, over half feel unconfident to some degree in various situations, but they also tend to think they are the only one that feels that way.

So, in a way, take comfort if you do feel unconfident in some situations as it is likely that it is not always noticed. It can also be re-assuring that confidence is not a magical attribute only bestowed to a lucky few. It can and should be developed at all levels and with self-knowledge and preparation for the event you are feeling unconfident about, you can gain higher levels of confidence in presenting your ideas and influencing change.

So, welcome to my blog. Would love to hear your comments, thoughts, opinions on the above.
