Citybuzz Marketing On How To Maximise Your Potential

MANCHESTER, UK, November 2013 –  Citybuzz Marketing train their teams on all aspects of what it takes to be a leader. One of the main lessons that needs to be learnt is confidence. Some people have it and some people must learn it. Maybe you can relate to that feeling of wanting to do something but feeling terrified to start? This not only limits your potential in life; it also minimizes your ability to make a positive impact on the world around you. Here are 7 tips to help you maximise your potential:

1. Tap into the confidence you were born with.

You didn’t come out of the womb unsure of your cry or insecure about your large umbilical cord. Once you developed a sense of self-awareness, you started forming doubts and insecurities about how other people saw you. When you start feeling unsure of yourself remember: we were all born with confidence, and we can all get it back if we learn to silence the thoughts that threaten it.

2. Know your strengths and weaknesses.

List five things you do well that you enjoy and five things you’d like to do well. Make an effort to utilize some of the first list and work on some of the second every day. As you use your strengths and improve where there’s room to grow, you’ll develop both confidence and fulfillment simultaneously.

3. Expect success.

Conventional wisdom suggests it’s smart to expect the worst because you won’t be disappointed if you fail and you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you succeed. But research suggests this isn’t universally true. Pessimism can undermine your performance creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Find the successes in every day and you’ll notice over time that they increase.

4. Embrace the unknown.

Confidence comes from knowing your competence but acknowledging it’s not solely responsible for creating your world. When you take that weight off your shoulders and realize that sometimes the twists and turns have nothing to do with what you did or should have done, it’s easier to feel confident in what you bring to the table.

5. Take risks.

6. Learn to receive praise.

Other people want you to succeed; now you just have to believe them when they show you you’re worthy.

7. Practice confidence.

Like anything else in life, your confidence will improve with practice. A great opportunity to do this is when you meet new people. Just like if you were the new kid in school, they have no idea who you are—meaning you have an opportunity to show them. As you shake their hand, introduce yourself, and listen to them speak, watch your internal monologue. If you start doubting yourself in your head, replace your thoughts with more confident ones. Ask yourself what a confident person would do, and then try to emulate that. Watch your posture and your tone. Hunching and mumbling will make you feel and look less confident, so stand up and speak slowly and clearly. People are more apt to see you how you want to be seen if they suspect you see yourself that way.

Above all, remember you are capable and worthy—just as much as anyone else, regardless of what you’ve achieved, regardless of what mistakes you’ve made. Knowing that intellectually is the first step to believing it in your heart. Believing it is the key to living it. And living it is the key to reaching your potential.
