The 4 Types of Confidence You Need to Excel in Life

 <\/p>\n

Life is confusing and can be hard to navigate, even more so if you lack confidence. Being able to excel in life takes confidence, and everybody lacks confidence in some areas.
\nWorking on the different types of confidence, especially in areas you seem to have more trouble with, is essential to living a successful life. We are going to go over the four types of confidence you need to excel in life and how you can work on them daily.
\n1. Social Confidence
\nSocial confidence is the ability to portray yourself as confident in social situations. This is typically done by empathizing with and understanding the mindset of the people around you. This can be through appearance, body language, and how you speak to people. Improving social confidence is easy as long as you consistently work at it.
\nHere are some good ways to improve social confidence.<\/p>\n

Dress For Success: One of the first things people judge you on is how you\u2019re dressed. Dress how you\u2019d like to portray yourself. The more put together you look, the more confident you will look and feel.
\nEngage In Conversation: People notice how much you talk to them. If you\u2019re constantly avoiding conversation, it can show a lack of confidence. If you engage in conversation with others, even if it\u2019s brief, it can up your confidence and the way you\u2019re viewed. Start by making small talk and work your way up to deeper conversations.
\nGet rid of Self-Deprecating language: Many people who lack confidence will say things like \u201csorry for bothering you\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m not that good at this\u201d Instead, switch out self-deprecating phrases for more confident ones. Instead of \u201csorry for bothering you,\u201d say \u201cThank you for taking the time.\u201d Instead of \u201cI\u2019m not that good at this,\u201d say \u201c To the best of my knowledge,\u201d Switching the way you talk about yourself can show you have confidence in who you are.<\/p>\n

2. Confidence In Your Expertise
\nBeing confident in your expertise is trusting in your skills or abilities. This can mean your ability to complete a difficult task or having knowledge of what you\u2019re doing. The best way to work on your confidence in your expertise is to keep learning and be willing to let people correct you if you\u2019re wrong. Don\u2019t shy away from helpful advice or the chance to learn something new.<\/p>\n

3. Physical Confidence
\nBeing confident in your physical appearance is important because it can be challenging to make friends or have intimate relationships if you lack physical confidence.
\nSome easy ways to work on your physical confidence are
\nPositive Affirmations: Make a list of things you like about your appearance and recite them to yourself when you\u2019re feeling low.
\nWorkout: If you don\u2019t like your appearance, you can try working out to lose weight, add muscle or lean out. Working out is a great way to make your body feel good even if you\u2019re not looking for results. Becoming stronger or faster can boost your confidence and working out improves your quality of life.
\nUpdate Your Wardrobe: Try wearing clothes that are comfortable and make you feel good about yourself. Change things up and add some different things you wouldn\u2019t normally think to wear.<\/p>\n

4. Confidence In Your Self-Worth
\nKnowing what you\u2019re capable of and what you deserve in life can give you a clear view of how you want to live.
\nHere are a few tips to improve your confidence in your self-worth.
\nForgive Yourself: You\u2019re worthy of forgiveness even if you mess up or do something bad. You can\u2019t have to live with the guilt forever. Give yourself the forgiveness you give others.
\nEncourage Yourself: Be your biggest cheerleader! Encourage yourself to try new things and take risks. Don\u2019t talk yourself out of having a fun life.
\nKeep A Gratitude Journal: Every day, wake up and write down what you\u2019re grateful for that day. It could be the food you get to eat or the way you feel. Express gratitude whenever you can for the things you do and how you live.<\/p>\n

What Others Are Saying
\nOluwatosin Adeosun Isaac (Nigeria)
\ninnovativedcrown@gmail.com
\nI am currently serving with IIGL as a board member and I am a Level Six student. I joined IIGL in the year 2014 and since then my life has really improved in all facets. IIGL has shaped my life from good to better and from better to best. I joined IIGL when I had little knowledge of the word leadership. The IIGL studies have really helped me to improve and build my leadership competencies and capabilities. IIGL has helped me to see a better version of myself as well as equipping me to pursue and achieve my dreams, goals and aspirations. I am successful today as a manufacturing manager and project leader of different change initiatives because of the value gained on IIGL platform.

\nGoal Mapping is a simple technique for success. It has helped individuals achieve success relating to wealth, health, career, education, sport, weight-loss and whatever else your dream may be, while clarifying your purpose, the process and identification of supportive colleagues. If you feel that despite your dedication to success, nothing seems to work, this book will help you. If you are frustrated because your planned initiatives are not achieved, this book can give you what you are looking for. If you are a student and you find it difficult studying and achieving good grades, this book is for you. Goal Mapping is written by IIGL\u2019s first graduate, Past IIGL President and Nigerian National Coordinator, Felix Iziomoh!<\/p>\n

Students\/Graduates In Action<\/p>\n

IIGL Master Class held on International Women\u2019s Day
\nOn March 8, IIGL held a Master Class on Transformational Leadership: Art of Influence facilitated by President Emeritus Ethelbert Umeh (Nigeria) and moderated by IIGL\u2019s President Vivian Muciri (Kenya). For 1 hour, we had an interesting conversation on this theme. The Master Class was attended by 10 leaders from 4 countries; United Kingdom, Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda.<\/p>\n

Ethelbert shared, \u201cit was a beautiful opportunity to celebrate International Women\u2019s day. I learned a lot from the contributions, questions and answers of the participants. This was another opportunity to connect, network and inspire. A transformational leader is an influencer. Leadership is action, not talk show, showmanship, or title hooding.
\nTransformational leaders serve above self; serve with 3 T\u2019s (time, talent and treasures).
\nTransformational leaders are problem solvers. In sum, transformational leaders fly with 7 key qualities: Good listening skills; Prioritize responsibilities; Visio; Courage (You can\u2019t be a hero, if you are not courageous). Passion and Commitment; Communication and Transparency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Make A Difference
\nDream Team 22
\nPlease join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month \u2013 especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks\u2019 salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2021!<\/p>\n

Please join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL! You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below. To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details: drosen2@wi.rr.com<\/p>\n
