The Fastest Way To Build Self-Confidence
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.

Sincere thanks and appreciation goes out to Lailani Mendoza for this in-depth inspirational video review!
That’s true that the best way to build confidence is to do what you love to do, what excites you, what you have passion for. I also agree that what you do have to be beneficial for you or for the people around you. I liked the video.
That was a great video. We really need to develop our self-confidence if we want to achieve our goals or dreams in life. That video is very helpful and inspiring, thanks.
Thanks, Zoltan, for your great feedback. It’s true — there must be meaning to what you do and it must bring joy not only to yourself, but to others.
Glad that you enjoy the site. Keep reading!

Another reason for not trying to gain your self-confidence from the outside world or from other people is that you cannot ensure it will always be available to you. Say you usually feel good when you are given compliments about your body or hair or manner of dress. Those compliments can be few and far between. The important thing is to build an inner strength so that it matters not what others say to you or about you.
Great comments Maia! Thank you for sharing your expert insight!
