Say it like you mean it

Say it like you mean it I was watching President Obama speak to the people of Prague and kept asking myself, why do they care about what he has to say? It was a huge crowd of people. So, Why? Perhaps he had something they wanted to hear. When you are talking about what you can do, do you say it like you mean it? Would it draw a crowd? Would anyone be interested? OK, if you cant draw a crowd, how about in an interview or when networking? If you cant speak convincingly about yourself, then why should anyone listen. Think about what it would take for you to speak with convictionwhat do you need to get there? Is it a lack of self-confidence? What is driving that? What can you do to turn that around? We can be our worst enemy, especially when we are feeling vulnerable, however, this is not an excuse. Fix it please. Perhaps it isnt a lack of self confidence, it is a lack of certainty that what you can do is of value. What you can do to turn that around. Usually a bit of information gathering can stifle those feelings. Maybe it isnt either of these things holding you back. Identify why you arent speaking passionately about what you do. Is it perhaps the fact that you no longer love what you do? You can fix that too. Right now, you realize, there arent enough jobs for everyone looking. In order to stand out, you really have to speak like you are worthy of drawing a crowd. If you arent up to the task, if you arent willing to fight for yourself, if you dont believe you should have to do this, then continue doing what youre doing and let me know how it goes.
