WORRIED ABOUT BEING CALLED ARROGANT?

One of the most common fears I hear from my clients is that they fear being thought of or called arrogant.This is what I have normally found through working with many people on this topic.

The people who worry about being called arrogant never are. But they waste a huge amount of the talent because they fear it so much.Their fear of being judged stops them really using their talent.The people that are arrogant usually don't have the skills that the fearful people do. And most people around them can see right through them anyway no matter how much they try to bullshit everyone.

The people who are truly skillful but are arrogant actually have an issue with their self esteem and feel they need to big themselves up to feel better about themselves. This unfortunately stops them from being as effective as they could be.
Their arrogance is a symptom of a more important issue they need to deal with.

People who call others arrogant are...

1. Either right because the person they are judging is all mouth and no trousers and they can see through the nonsense.
or
2. Trying to bring you down because they themselves have a self esteem issue and don't want you to succeed.

Confidence not arrogance.

True confidence in what you can do is not arrogance, it's confidence. If you can back up what you say with evidence, it is not arrogant to say it.
If you are that good, you are simply that good.

The world needs people who can accurately and confidently communicate and demonstrate what they can do.

I work with a huge amount of people who spend too much of their time worrying about others rather than just being that good at what they do.
We like to know our problems are being handled safely and our desires are being helped along by competent people.
I like people who say they are good and can prove it. It helps me sleep at night.

Forget this stupid word, it is feared too much.
Concentrate on being good and showing people that you are.
Let your results back up what you say.

And if others call you arrogant, that's their issue. Let them keep it.
