Today I am going to reveal something very important. Are you ready?

I am going to let you know the method I regularly use to assess how I feel when I come across an uncomfortable situation. This will allow me to assess how uneasy and unconfident I feel so I may do something about it.

For example, I analyse how I feel when I attend a networking evening. I pay particular attention to decipher what it is that is making me uncomfortable and unconfident.

Is it the location? Has it been a while since I attended one? Is it the organiser? The drinks? The set up? The people? Or a certain individual? As I am networking I am also analysing.

I use the typical 1-10 scale; where 1 is very nervous and unconfident and 10 being totally confident.

Once I have identified what it was that made me uneasy, I assess my level of confidence. If it is below 6 then I recognise that I need to work on my self-confidence in that area.
