Speaker’s experience: Dr Ivan Joseph is a world-renowned leadership expert, best-selling author, keynote speaker, award-winning coach, and ambidextrous ping-pong player. 

This video is about a motivation on how to build the skill of self-confidence. It is suitable for everybody especially for those who does not have self-confidence at all. The speaker told the tips on how to build the skill and he believed that the skill can be trained. The definition of self-confidence is to be the ability or the belief to believe in ourselves, to accomplish any task, no matter the odds, no matter the difficulty, no matter the adversity. The belief that we can accomplished is self-confidence. The tips have been shared by speaker to build the self-confidence is by practicing: repetition, repetition, and repetition. The speaker also asked us to be persistence as he said, “do what you want to do, do not accept no”. Other highlighters are get away from people who will tear we down and self-confident people interpret feedback the way they choose to.

As for my personal reaction, I think this video is one of the great motivational speeches so far. The speaker told the audience how he was before, from a low self confidence person changed to what he be now is kind of a great story. I am totally agreed with his words when he said that when we lose sight or belief in ourselves, we are done for. The shyness, low self-confidence could drag all the way down here. We all have negative self-talking and this one should be avoided. The part of his speech that I did remember the best is when he said “I am the captain of my ship, and the master of my fate. If I don’t say it, I don’t believe it, no one else will”. His speech motivated me to be more confident in front of many people after this. I also have one word to said for myself which is, no one will belief in me unless I do.

One thing that I want to learn for next three months to advance my career opportunities is increasing my self-confidence. This skill is compulsory needed everywhere we go, anything we do especially when interaction with other people. It is important to everyone to have this kind of skill to live in this competition era and to advance our career opportunities or business. For professional success and job satisfaction, I need to be confident. High self-esteem at work can exceed my professional growth, build my accomplishments, and gain my earning potential.
