The Power of Confidence
Confidence builds credibility.
Picture someone who lacks confidence – make that person up if you want.
Now, imagine this person trying to carry on a conversation with you. Chances are whatever this person says will not have lasting effects on you beyond this conversation.
Why? It’s simple.
If that person isn’t confident in his or her own motives, how can you support them?
Even worse, how can you take them serious? Again, people are smart and they know when you’re faking it.
Most importantly, confidence literally draws people to you.
Unfortunately, many people lack self-confidence. This is a result of socialization after learning the “do’s” and “don’ts” of a particular society and learning what’s “cool” or “attractive” and what’s not.
