Short video from Dr. Ivan Joseph on the skill of “Self-confidence”, with some key points below:

• Pressure builds diamonds: Repeat, practice, repeat, practice … in different situations, so that you’ve been in the situation before: develop your ability to practice! 
• Do not stop when you hear a no, Persist
• Thoughts influence actions : Watch your self-talk, develop and repeat your self-affirmations in quiet moments : “I am the captain of my ship, the master of my fate”
• Write a letter to yourself with all the things you are proud about yourself, which you can read when feeling down
• Interpret feedback the way you choose to : pick the right eyeglasses
• To help others in developing self-confidence : Catch people when they are good, Praise behaviours you want to reinforce: “great job!”
