New Year’s Resolution…Adopting a Values Based Model

Natascha Lee

Life goes on in this heavily media fueled recession world we live in. And, as a fair part of our world’s economy seems to operate on ‘confidence’, I started to think about what confidence means. My thesaurus gives a whole list of nouns including belief, faith, trust, support and loyalty. For something clearly not tangible, it’s quite amazing what effect it can have. So, I wondered if we as individuals can make a positive difference on a local level – at home and at work – by making a concerted effort at being all those things people describe as being ‘confident’ and see what impact it has on those around you In other words, see if a confident demeanor is as infectious as the latest cold bug, with more positive consequences.
