The speaker seems unprepared and even looks a little nervous; very different from what he's advocating in the video.

Instructional Rating (1-5): 3

Projecting the main points on the screen is good, but he could have planned his speech to convey his message better.

Sharon Melnick, a well-known life coach and a clinical psychologist, has been working with Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurs and professionals to achieve the quality of life that they want.

In this video, she talks about the two ways in which people gain confidence. Most people use the indirect way (getting validation from other people which reinforces our confidence in our abilities). However, it is too time-consuming and not as effective as the direct way. The direct way consists of creating a core vision for yourself and acting to make it happen.

Key Points from this Inspirational Video:

• 2 ways to be confident: indirect and direct
• Indirect behavior: getting validation from other people about your competence
• Direct behavior: build a core vision for yourself and your team and act on it
• What excites you about this vision?
• What benefits will it bring to your life?
• What strengths and talents do you have to make it happen?

This short video by Darryl Cross, a clinical psychologist, explores the subconscious and how people can change themselves by re-programming their own way of thinking. Cross refers to the subconscious as "the real engine" that determines how we view and present ourselves to others. The good news is that self-sabotage and the subconscious can be easily changed with some willpower and commitment.

This is a very informative video that lets the viewers learn how self-sabotage occurs and work towards eliminating it in their lives permanently.

Key Points from this Inspirational Video:

• Self-sabotage occurs mostly in the subconscious, or in the "DVDs" that we play in our minds
• We can re-program these DVDs - the subconscious can be tricked
• Set aside 2 minutes day and night to visualize yourself as the person you want to be
• Results start in 4 weeks and become permanent in six months
