In reply to Livvie Matthews. I agree with you Livvie. I'm actually, to some extent an introvert at heart too and take my time to really open up. I overcame it by finding my voice on topics that I am passionate about like, animal rights, human rights and elderly care.

Learning to speak up can be a hard lesson, but it’s also one that’s needed. I believe it does help with our confidence level. Just like a strong hand shake gives a better impression than a weak hand shake, your voice can give a weak or strong impression as well. As an Introvert with the different jobs I have had during the years, I have learned to make myself speak up. What is so amazing, once you do begin speaking up it gets easier and easier to do. People even think I’m an Extrovert and are surprised to learn I’m an Introvert at heart because of how I speak up And guess what??? You can also still not speak up if need be….but at this point the choice is yours. Great info…

In reply to Heather. We do find our voice as we gain maturity over the years and lose many of our inhibitions, Heather Maria. As for the shyness, perhaps that is your unique endearing trait? Quite a few of us are shy by nature or as I call in my book, Self Confidence in 8 Steps, quasi-confident.

Very well put. In the past I tended to be much more quiet. I didn’t always speak up when I had something to say. I do know that when it’s really important to speak out, to do so in love. As I got older I’ve found more of my voice however I still tend to have a shyness to me in certain ways. I guess that’s just part of who I am.

Our voice expresses our confidence in many way – verbal and non-verbal. This is an insightful article, and the questions to determine if one has a confidence issue are very helpful. Thanks for sharing your pearls of wisdom!

In reply to Barb Parcells. I agree, Barb. Knowing when we need to voice our view and when to play the observer is an art form in itself.

I think finding and owing our voice is important in every area of our lives.

I really like the way you look at confidence as a spectrum. It can be so variable and situation-dependent. Thanks.
