confidence is simply a tool we utilize to get a job done. When you are
consciously improving your level of confidence and improving your self-
image, you are preparing yourself for situations where it will require
you to interact and socialize which can lead to networking
opportunities. Even a person who does not feel they have a problem
with self-confidence needs to constantly be looking for ways to
sharpen their abilities.
In today's society, there is more competition than ever to be the
best, be the brightest and be in demand. Before you go to an
interview, a networking event or even a friend's cocktail party, you
need to prepare your mind for the conversation and the questions you
will likely face. When you bring these thoughts to your mind's
forefront, you are more likely to say just the right thing or bring up
an important point at just the right time. Don't be afraid to coach
yourself every time you face these situations. This will give you the
edge you are seeking. Envision how the event will go before it
happens. Be mindful to consider the people you are speaking with and
listen just as much as you speak and remember the details about your
contacts in order to use them when you meet again. You never know who
could turn out to be a real ally. Never snub or ignore someone just
because they do not appear to be able to do anything for you. This is
just bad Karma!
When you walk into the room you should exude confidence that is
tangible to the people around you. Ask the pertinent questions, work a
meaningful conversation and most of all think before you speak. Always
ask for a business card if you have had a good encounter with someone.
You never know when it could come in very handy. Constantly seek to
sharpen your confidence tool and never end the quest to find new ones.
