A special thank you to Dani Ticktin Koplik of dtkResources (and to my friend and new ICF-NY president, Terry Yoffe) for inviting me to present at the Bubble2Boardroom career fair and networking conference at the New York Athletic Club on Friday (Jan 6, 2012.)

It was an honor to join an impressive roster of guest speakers which included superstar marketing and social media guru, Ted Rubin, as well as Michelle Tillis Lederman, author of “The 11 Laws of Likability.”

My presentation entitled, “Turn Up Your Power Dial…and Kick-Start Your Confidence” introduced our patented BigBlueGumball Power Dial model to the public for the very first time, along with a number of other tools, tips and techniques including “BigBlueGumball’s 5 Quick Tips for Boosting your Confidence":

1. Build on your PAST SUCCESSES (eliminate that negative "self-talk")
2. Leverage your STRENGTHS (don’t dwell on your weaknesses or limitations)
3. Make every experience a LEARNING OPPORTUNITY to build upon
4. Seek out FEEDBACK (it’s a gift!)
5. “ACT AS IF” (believe in yourself...if you don't, who will!)
