Prepared
Recently I had the opportunity to facilitate a session on Self Promotion for a group of EWN Corporate Members. During the discussion the topic of "Self Confidence" was explored in detail. Feeling prepared "enough" for a meeting with peers or a board of directors was one of the things that caused strife in the hearts of some of these amazing professionals. It seemed that no matter how prepared they were it was never quite enough and they were always concerned that they wouldn't have the answers they needed. There were three TIPS the group shared with each other. 1) Give yourself a PEP talk prior to the meeting, 2) Turn the fear into excitement about the meeting and it's outcome, 3) Assure yourself that you are more prepared than the person or team you are presenting to about the topic. What other tips do you have you that you have found helps in these types of situtations? We'd love to hear from YOU!
