Confidence is a Tool

Like any other attribute we use in life to get what we want,
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.

Astrid Harris, author of Unstoppable Confidence, will be appearing on Authors Web TV through October 12, 2010.

All people share common fears and challenges. From fear to depression, anxiety to a simple lack of confidence, these issues know no personal boundaries. They affect all people, from schoolchildren to business owners, from mom to corporate executives. The development of self confidence is a subject that is not taught in schools, but must rather be developed through life experience or training.

Astrid Harris has recently released Unstoppable Confidence. The book provides six breakthrough steps to help build self-confidence using case studies, exercises, assignments and empowering techniques.

“I wrote this book,” stated Ms. Harris, “to help people overcome negative feelings, to empower their actions by overcoming self defeating attitudes and change thinking patterns that limited the possibility of achievement."

Unstoppable Confidence provides information regarding how to develop a ‘Confidence Role Model’ to learn how others approach life and to model that in our own lives. It also details why a strong inner belief system is vital in building self confidence and clearly details strategies to overcome negative messages, whether those message come from ourself or from others. The key to developing self confidence lies in the choices we make.

“Today,” stated Ms. Harris, “having a high level of self confidence is imperative. People are trying so hard to keep their jobs or find new ones without depleting savings and avoiding financial ruin. These are all very powerful adversaries that can beat down someone's self confidence and self-worth."”

Unstoppable Confidence is available in both hardcover and e-book formats at the author’s website, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.. Ms. Harris is available for interview and can be contacted by email at astrid@polyglot-network.com.

Astrid Harris was born, raised and educated in Europe, studying law. As a successful life coach and motivator, Astrid Harris has a unique gift to help people break through barriers that limit their self-confidence in order to lead the life they want.
