Job Interview / An Important Event Preparation - How To Boost Your Confidence and Productivity?


How many times have you felt insecure about yourself? A lack of confidence often can’t be seen from the outside, but it can create a mental burden that is hard to carry. 

To lift this weight off your shoulders and become more confident, you must deal with what’s on your mind and learn how to accept yourself.


One way to achieve this is to use positive affirmations for confidence.

Affirmations are short, positive statements that reinforce your beliefs or combat negative feelings. They can be spoken aloud or printed on cards to read when you need a boost. There are a lot of ways to use them, and it ultimately depends on your individual needs.

Why Affirmations Are Important for Confidence

People tend to look at themselves negatively. Unfortunately, many people feel like they aren’t good enough or like they can’t do something they’ve wanted to do for a long time. This isn’t just a problem for children and teenagers; lack of confidence can start early and continue through adulthood.

Identifying a lack of confidence is often challenging because it’s typically not something you can see from the outside. In most cases, it feels like a crippling weight that prevents your true personality from showing.

If that burden becomes too heavy, the lack of confidence can trigger some physical issues. Anxiety, shortness of breath, stress, sweating, and other symptoms can often be traced back to feelings of insecurity.

Listen to the podcast to be inspired to use positive affirmations daily. It helps people all over the world to feel more confident, at ease with themselves, to feel excited about life...

If you are preparing for an important meeting that will be held in English or fear of speaking to your partners / colleagues / clients - book a class with me so we can find practical soutions now.

To Your Success,
Anatoly

はじめまして!  -  First meeting

Businessperson 1: Mmmm! That burger looks delicious! I might order some takeout too. I’m exhausted.
Businessperson 2: Yeah, it’s really tasty and massive. And the fries are THE best.
Businessperson 1: What are you watching there?
Businessperson 2: This amazing documentary on food waste. Have you seen it?
Businessperson 1: No, is it any good?
Businessperson 2: Scary! I’m blown away by the statistics. Did you know that, out of all the food that is produced to eat, the world throws away about one-third of it? Every single year.
Businessperson 1: Seriously?
Businessperson 2: Yeah! We could feed three billion people with that food. And it’s worth one trillion US dollars.
Businessperson 1: I can’t even wrap my head around how much food that is.
Businessperson 2: Maybe this will help. You’ve been to China, right?
Businessperson 1: Yes. I did that trip from Shanghai to Beijing with my friends. Amazing.
Businessperson 2: So imagine that all of China was just fields that grow crops.
Businessperson 1: That’s a lot of crops.
Businessperson 2: It is. It’s 2.5 billion acres. Now imagine we just throw away all the food that we make with them.
Businessperson 1: That’s crazy!
Businessperson 2: But it’s not just that. It’s the whole food process. The water that is used to grow the wasted food is the equivalent of 200 liters, per person, per day for 9 billion people.
Businessperson 1: 9 billion? But there are only about 7 billion people on the Earth now, aren’t there?
Businessperson 2: Exactly! There won’t be 9 billion people on the planet until the middle of this century, and by then, we will need to be producing 70% more food than we do now to feed everyone.
Businessperson 1: It doesn’t make sense at all. Especially when you consider all of the people who are hungry in the world. I read that about 700 million people don’t have enough food right now.
Businessperson 2: I know! A lot of it, would you believe, is apparently to do with how it looks.
