How you can Easily Build Self-Confidence

 

People look up to confident people. They are admired. They become mentors….it just happens! They make waves. They are able to speak freely with others and meet up with proposed expectations. Confident people are risk takers ready to put up with any challenge that may come their way.

They most likely never regret it because they expect the best and work towards that. They go for what they want and achieve it.

Australia is including women in the workplace by stopping the use of these two words

Hi, everyone!

Did you notice that? I would usually have said “Hey guys!”, but not today *no pun intended*.

I got to read a recent report and thought to share this with you. The weekend is upon us! What have you been saying at work? What words have you been making use of ?

13 Great Ways to Stay Happy at Work

As usual, I take the time to relax and think of the past and I remembered one of my all-time favorite movies: “The Pursuit of Happyness”, spelled with a ‘y’ a 2006 American biographical drama film based on entrepreneur Chris Gardner (starring Will Smith).
