Confidence…a definition and more

by Rick Baker
On Dec 2, 2010
Def’n:  Confidence happens when you believe you have what it takes to excel, do well, or at least handle the task and situation at hand.
 
I like the StrengthsFinderthinking:
  • Every person has dominant talent themes.
  • If we so choose then we can gain knowledge in the area of these talent themes.
  • If we apply that knowledge and take persistent, focused action in the area of the talent themes then we become skilled.
When all of this is done… talent theme + knowledge + skill …we possess strength.
 
And, when tasks and situations arise requiring that strength…we know we have it…so we have confidence.

Sales Tweet #99 Sure, Curiosity killed the cat...but it also pumped life and personality into the salesperson.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
Questions are a powerful tool. Questions are a wonderful ice-breaker for communication. Questions illustrate interest. Questions can serve as confirmation of trust. Questions live next door to creativity.
