Impress and Inspire Others Without Saying a Word

Keep silent, then speak. Fear often makes us want to impress others. While participating in a conversation, cancel any undetected weaknesses by conducting a quick internal check before speaking. Does that remark you are about to make, or the answer you are about to give benefit the conversation? If not, keep silent. Silence is often stronger than words.

Simply recognize that you are in control. You may be able to blame others, but that just digs you deeper into self-doubt. You have accomplished a great deal in life and in your business—think positively and enjoy the outcomes.
