Talk Confidence - March Ezine
Ezine March 2009
As we revamp eilidhmilnes.com the easiest way to publish the monthly newsletter is via the Blog.
So here it is for you now ...
Reading time: Just a couple of minutes
Talk Confidence
Roger Black former Olympic Champion and fellow inspirational speaker, was featured on Working Lunch BBC2 earlier this month. He spoke with clarity and authority on the importance of being proactive, finding a good coach and dealing with change. Roger’s key messages:
Don't flounder on your own
Don't take on others people's concerns for you
Be positive and open-minded
This weekend sees the start of Formula One. Whether or not you follow the F1, think of your life like a car for a few moments. Your belief system acts like the steering wheel, guiding where you go in your career and your relationships. Your actions are your engine; you use your efficient dynamics to get things done and leave an impressive roar as you burn rubber and race toward your goals. The flashy paint job, Xenon headlights and alloy wheels are your words. They give a good impression but mean little without strong beliefs, commitments and action.
So if you accept that your most important words and conversations are those you have with yourself; then these Talk Confidence tips are in tune with the keys to your success.
When you think about positive thinking, do your grind yourself into a state of mental exhaustion with an endless effort to accomplish the apparently impossible? There is more to success that persistence. There is wit and resourcefulness; there is fluidity and spontaneity. There is the ability to recognise the value of an alternative option or even a totally different direction altogether.
“So if at first your don’t succeed….” What should you do?
Contemplate a change of attitude. If in the past you have found that your subconscious mind is more focused on what you cannot do than what you can do, it could be time to do some serious brain washing and re-programming. This negative habit can prove challenging, so here are the Confidence Coach tips for March.
Help others – a sure way to feel better about yourself is to help someone else with their issues and problems.
Stopwatch – allow yourself to think the worst with a time limit of say two minutes. Have your personal ‘pity party’ and conjure up the worst possible outcomes… but watch the clock. Have a good old moan to yourself. Imagine the least appealing scenario. However when you are in what the translates from German as the ‘Devil’s circle’ it is time to break out! Hit your delete button – and then trash these thoughts and focus on your best outcomes.
Stay Upbeat - Hit your enter key to positive thinking and should negative thoughts re-surface shout out, Talk Confidence.
Remember that according to Earl Nightingale, "Whatever you plant in your subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality."

Holler if you think I can help you, your colleagues or clients and….
Be the Formula 1 Champion of your own life!
Best!

To Twitter or not to Twitter...
That is the question...
What I like most about Twitter is its simplicity.
Can you string together 140 characters? Sure you can - it is just 17/20 words?
So having established that let me assure you that you can use www.twitter.com and it does have many benefits.
Why should you bother to look at another online site? Maybe you are already on LinkedIn or Facebook or Utube and MySpace.
Then again maybe you are just looking to join the virtual friendship /business/relationship world. If so, Twitter is ideal for a novice.
Well a good enough reason for me, is that social networking experts are promoting the virtues and power of this latest on-line phenomenon.
Secondly, it is fun and fast.
And as someone who subscribes to a "Do it Now” philosophy for jobs that take two minutes and less Twitter is a must have plug-in to my online life.
It is good to link up with faces new and familiar and find up what they are up to. Was one of your new year's resolutions to stay in touch and be better connected to old friends? Twitter could be your new best friend!
The content of the Tweets and the quality of the people I have selected to follow is good on the whole. I have learned some great tips and ideas and shared a few as well. And as I type one new Tweeter is leading me to some potential speaking opportunities.
Let me, as someone who has only been using Twitter for about a month and thoroughly enjoying the experience, offer a few tips to you now:
• Take a good look at the bios of those you are considering following
• A return follow is not mandatory although always worth considering
• There is an option to un-follow or block but with your screening or selection process in place this unlikely to be required
• Check @Replies and Direct Messages first, as this is where I have found my most valuable information
• Chose an eclectic mix of people so that you get a wide variety of "tweets" to inform and inspire, laugh or loathe (yip a few will make you groan and moan and hehe that is good too!)
• Look at whom your favourites are following and consider doing the same
• Promote Twitter to your circle of contacts, friends and family - keeps you in touch - and raise your online presence
• Organisations use Twitter to inform membership – savvy schools posted closures on Twitter this week
• Major businesses, rich and famous use Twitter to create community and generate interest>sales
• Find out how to link Twitter to other sites and save time (lots of great ideas on Tweets as to how to do this)
• Select a Twitter-time in your life stick to it - otherwise you could find the process rather time consuming and maybe even addictive
• Give it a go for a couple of months - if you like it and see benefits -stick with it - if not - just stop twittering on
