Soft Skills Subject: Soft Skills Career Development
Of all the personality traits, confidence may be most highly correlated with success. In business, it helps a person to take risks and pursue opportunities. And compared with insecure people, those who are confident are perceived as more attractive and tend to have a larger circle of high-quality relationships.
What is it about confidence that’s so enticing? First off, it’s important to make distinctions about what confidence is not. It’s not cockiness or a sense of being better than others. Rather, it’s a quiet belief in one’s own ability without the hubris that results in arrogance. Here are the kinds of things you’ll hear truly confident people say.
- I wouldn’t worry about it.
- Go for it.
- Doing it this way works for me.
- Why not me?
- I need to say something.
- Tell me more.
- Can you help me?
