If you're the most confident person in
00:00:01
the room, it's probably not a good
00:00:03
thing.
00:00:03
>> What can one do to build their
00:00:05
confidence?
00:00:06
>> I've been around very confident people,
00:00:08
former SEALs, US Secret Service. I've
00:00:10
never heard anyone talk about it. I
00:00:12
think one of the secrets is they don't
00:00:14
think about it. They don't give it that
00:00:15
much life. I just am. I just are. Stop
00:00:18
overanalyzing. Just be you. Just do.
00:00:22
Confident people, they have a good
00:00:24
circle around them, meaning they're very
00:00:25
aware and meticulous of who's around
00:00:27
them and who they associate with. If
00:00:28
you're around insecure people, it it
00:00:30
bleeds on you. Like, you're going to
00:00:31
absorb what other people are. If you're
00:00:33
the most confident person in the room,
00:00:35
it's probably not a good thing. You want
00:00:36
to be around people you learn from. It
00:00:38
can't just be you're at the top and
00:00:40
everybody's looking to you. Research
00:00:41
shows law people in law enforcement are
00:00:43
perceived to be highly confident because
00:00:45
they're decision makers. You make
00:00:47
decisions on the spot, everyday life and
00:00:49
death decisions, and there's nobody to
00:00:51
turn around to be like, "Hey, can I ask
00:00:52
you your opinion on this? What do you
00:00:54
think I should do with this guy wielding
00:00:55
this knife? Should I shoot? Should I
00:00:57
not? Should I pull out the pepper spray?
00:00:59
I mean, what would you do in this
00:01:00
moment? You'd be dead, whether right or
00:01:02
wrong. When you're used to making those
00:01:04
decisions and believing in yourself and
00:01:06
trusting in yourself that you're making
00:01:07
the best decision you can with the
00:01:09
information you have at that moment,
00:01:12
that builds confidence. Be a decision
00:01:14
maker.
