The skill of self confidence Dr. Ivan Joseph TEDx Ryerson U

The belief that you can accomplish it selfconfidence. Some of you are saying, Great, I dont have it. Im so shy. Ill never do that, bla, bla, bla. And you start to drag all the way down here. But, I use the word skill because I believe it can be trained. And Ill show you a couple of ways in which we do. Hopefully I wont run out of time. I dont use any slides because my speech always goes here, or here, or here. So well see which way we get to. The easiest way to build selfconfidence: theres no magic button.
