Confidence Quote by Jonathan Berent
““ Preparing for a Business-Related Social Function 1. Activate your PMA. 2. Take a few minutes alone before the event—in the car, outside the room. 3. Utilize relaxation techniques. 4. Think about your goals for the event. 5. Visualize your success. 6. Think of a series of self-praise phrases that will give you energy and self-confidence. For example: “I am feeling confident and competent, and I will express this to all of those I meet.” 7. Boost your personal energy level up. 8. Walk with confidence into the event. 9. Focus on something other than yourself. Find out about other people and look into their concerns and interests. If you find your attention becoming too self-absorbed, see what you can notice about the appearance of others at the event. 10. Continue to initiate and follow up on conversations throughout . . .””
