Confidence – Learn it, develop it – Fred Harteis

At I Team we realize people can improve their lives & build confidence. We are not born with confidence, it is developed. The process of developing confidence takes courage to try.  John Maxwell explains the process very clearly. First you need to have a dream, goal or purpose, and courage to try. Second you have activity, you put your very best foot forward. Third with activity you have an experience, successful or a failure, experience. Now you think, if successful or a failed try what did you learn. Most things people try they fail at first but as they keep attempting they improve if they stay in the game. Children learn to do school work from repeated experience.  Adults learn to play golf through practice and learning from each experience. Forth as we focus on our goal, engage and learn from each experience we gain ability.

In a nutshell Dream Focused ~ Activity ~ Learn from experience ~ Gain ability. Anyone can do it if they just try. We at I Team try very hard to build confidence in each other on a daily basis.
