CONFIDENCE IN BUSINESS - CHAT TEXT]

From Alex Kent : Does confidence always come from experience or is there such a thing as innate confidence?From Iffet Burton : For me confidence is only when I know my subject fairly well. Otherwise I will not speak. Will not join a conversation. The issue is that you are often told by others what you are good at. Is that Confidence or Imposter phenomenon?From Nigel Kirby : Is confidence akin to muscle memory?From Iffet Burton : Is it part of the nature vs nurture debate?From Iffet Burton : is too much 'push through', 'bullish'?From Nigel Kirby : Kate you talk more about confidence bias and acts of being hubrisFrom Jon Lisby : Confidently "Faking it till you make it" - seems to be an approach that has worked for me!From Godfrey Lancashire : surely social confidence differs from confidence in a skill or action which will improve with practiceFrom Iffet Burton : So a superior asks to have a word/meeting - instinctively is the Head Teacher / my father is going to tell me off! Even at 50+ not lost that.From Nigel Kirby : Short term discomfort for long term comfort.From Alex Kent : Jon - you have to be sufficiently confident to fake it?From Will Kintish : When you practise, practise, practise, it becomes practiceFrom Iffet Burton : What about the fact that for every 1 negative I said in a classroom I had to say 3 positive to a child. So for adults that does not follow through and I recently had cause to comment on this with my LM. He has been overly complimentary as a result. So is that what happens to those of us who are not fully Extrovert but confident? I still have to check - I am a good person/I am good at this or that with my friends or husband.From Derek Arden : elatedFrom Alex Kent : ProudFrom Tim Durkin : prideFrom Jon Lisby : SatisfactionFrom Iffet Burton : I am sitting here and smilling away. beeming.

LewisFrom Jill English : Doing what I call 'going into customer service' mode (what do these people need to know form me?) is one of my tips for dealing with interview nervesFrom Iffet Burton : I did a calendar for the family in that way and it really gave the family a lift.From Nigel Kirby : Great metaphor for change of stateFrom Iffet Burton : The only thing that is certain is changeFrom Iffet Burton : That was amazing.
