A more subtle way of looking good that tarnishes communication is what I call “speechwriting.” One step up from speechwriting is competitive speaking.
Leech #2: Being right If there is one thing we like more than looking good, it’s being right. The need to be right can arise from a fear of being disrespected. Interrupting springs from the desire to be right. How to Build Confidence: 100+ Self-Confidence Tips. You set yourself up for happiness, success, and tremendous opportunity when you have self-confidence. You become intimately familiar with how you think, speak, and behave around other people, and allow your confidence to inspire confidence in others.
