We all know people who are confident. They seem to face life’s obstacles with a level of
calm that is enviable. Tey get into action to respond to a problem before giving themselves
time to dwell or worry too much. Confdent people are more successful at work because
they have a belief in their own abilities to the point that they feel comfortable handling
whatever comes at them. Make a presentation to the board? No problem – the confdent
person plans and executes the presentation without allowing fear to stop them. When
someone is confident, they:
• Focus on their strengths while managing their weaknesses
• Aren’t afraid to take risks
• Enjoy challenging themselves and setting high goals
• Seek out self-improvement opportunities
• Aren’t afraid to admit when they make a mistake.
• Aren’t afraid to acknowledge when they don’t know something
• Make good team leaders or mentors
• Can relate to customers or company members at any level of the organization
• Are honest about their shortcomings.
