Speak Confidently but not with Cockiness with Dr. Bill Lampton
Guidelines for keeping that confidence boost in check:
- Behave like a guest not a prima donna.
- Act like a member of the welcoming and arrangements committee.
- Avoid sounding like a one person dynamo.
- Express gratitude for management team, mentors, support staff and others who made your accomplishments possible.
- Tell success stories involving others.
- Avoid excessive name dropping.
- Mention famous people and events only if they’re highly relevant to your message & focus on their expertise.
- Giving your itinerary can be very offensive – refrain from it.
- Stay away from sarcastic statements that could embarrass questioners.
- Give credits to others when given the opportunity without diminishing your authority.
- Be polite and helpful at every event expecting no privileges.
