How do you share your Confidence Building results?

In my journey, I've never relied on specific confidence-building tools. However, when venturing into uncharted territories or pursuing something entirely new, it's natural for confidence levels to waver. That's when the importance of choosing the right confidant comes into play. Sharing your new project, along with your strengths and weaknesses, with the right person is pivotal. It should be someone who not only believes in your potential but also possesses the ability to provide unwavering support and encouragement. This trusted individual can be a vital catalyst, propelling you to embrace the risk and forge ahead. In essence, selective confidence-building, driven by the right partnership, can be a game-changer in your pursuit of success.

Confidence is a verb and a journey and not a noun or destination. It is visible in our posture, voice, gestures, and language.

I would say activities that will help you gain confidence will vary from one person to another and are usually a reflection of your core values and priorities. There is nothing wrong with sharing your journey or results with others, in fact, it's a great way to invite conversation and connection on topics you care about. By doing so, you attract people who can relate to your struggles and values so it is a great way to meet like-minded people and share ideas/tips. Growing up I struggled with reading out loud in class, I practised a lot, and watched series and movies in English to improve my pronunciation and read a lot until I was more comfortable with the language. My reading tremendously improved and so did my confidence.

Choosing the right confidant is like sculpting your narrative; weigh your purpose—seeking feedback, advice, support, or recognition. Assess your connection—is there trust, affinity, and respect? Factor in the setting—whether it's formal, personal, private, or public. By sculpting these considerations, you craft a tailored approach to sharing, revealing the intricacies selectively based on your unique relationship and the context.

I share my confidence building results with like minded individuals. I build relationships to know that the individualsI associate with are genuine and trustworthy. Considering that no individuals are alike and in my industry I’m not fearful of anyone in this circle (the circle I choose to share with) will steal my ideas. It’s a different foundation/platform for each of us. I share not looking for anything, but I always get something in return, from a thank you to referrals.

Sharing is useful when someone can benefit from our knowledge and experience. Otherwise save your energy for more learning or growth.

What's the purpose, who's the consumer of the information, and what's the relevant message all determine which part of the lesson need how much light.

Presentation is everything. Find the best way to share your results based on the people you share them with. Tailor your approach to fit your audience, and you'll make a bigger impact.

In our weekly team Zoom meetings, I treat each session like the Super Bowl, instilling a sense of excitement and urgency. I consistently deliver impactful results by highlighting key achievements, emphasizing individual and team contributions, and celebrating milestones. The dynamic presentation style and engaging updates create a motivating atmosphere, fostering a winning mentality within the team. By showcasing our collective successes and addressing challenges head-on, I ensure that every member feels valued and inspired to perform at their best week after week. This approach creates a high-energy environment that fuels continuous improvement and a shared commitment to excellence.

Once again, the focus on style is less important than the substance. Substance wins out over sizzle in the long run. Focus on substance.

Once you've chosen that trusted individual, it becomes imperative to be receptive to the feedback they provide and take actionable steps to improve. Throughout my life, I've often encountered situations where things didn't go as planned. In such moments, I've consistently turned to the right person for guidance and feedback. What's crucial is my willingness to embrace what I hear, even if it challenges me or takes me out of my comfort zone. It's through this openness to feedback, even when it's not what I want to hear, that I've experienced tremendous personal and professional growth. It's a process that has consistently led to tangible results and has become an integral part of my journey.

There is only one response to feedback. Listen and assess how it can uplift your knowledge or what you can do to improve your presentation. Listen with ears and eyes. Hear the body language.

It's important to show the value by highlighting benefits like increased self-confidence, better performance, or stronger relationships. Explain how these results have helped reach overall goals. Show how more confidence has led to real successes. Examples: hitting targets, seizing new opportunities, overcoming challenges.

Share it with authenticity , vulnerability and helpful to others. Mere showing that you got your results would inspire someone you may never meet to take that next step they didn’t dare to take. When you find success, it’s your duty to share as you never know who else might be struggling with the same issue and your results may help them find their results quicker or easier.
