Confidence

Confidence, where does it come from? Where does it go?

As Saturday's football result suggest it can be something of a will o' the wisp. Here today and gone in a momentary lapse of judgement by a referee.

How do we create confidence in ourselves? An obvious route is the acquiring of skills. To illustrate I remember a friend of mine who was apparently lacking in self confidence. I thought this till the day I saw him at his trade, taking command and moving the situation forward in a room of people who didn't have his knowledge.

The difference was simple acquired skills. In a presentation situation, confidence is a key and it is important to make sure that we have the skills of our particular discipline and presentation skills.

Well armed with these acquired skills we can face the world with confidence.

Where can we acquire these presentation skills... ah you're ahead of me.

Of more immediate note , given Wednesday's result has to be the question, how can we manage expectations?
