Among all the most successful people, three personality traits rise to the top. If you want to be successful, develop the top personality traits.
The single most important multiplier to your success is your personality. Personality development is the best way to improve your chances of success.
To find your passion you must start somewhere. Recent college graduate, Reilly Dooris, is starting in Guatemala. This is where his curiosity has taken him.
We interviewed Reilly because he was in a place that plenty of you are in right now. At a crossroads. And the path he took is a courageous one. He has chosen to embrace his narrow road that is only big enough for him. He went to school for engineering. However, humanitarian work with Frist Things Foundation is where his curiosity has lead him. This is his unique adventure.
His story began with a homework assignment in a leadership class.

The courageous person lives a life of adventure. How does one define a life of adventure? We turn to an adventure expert who embodies adventure to answer.
Derek Loudermilk is down to earth. Whereas I focus on courage and self-confidence, he focuses on adventure. He is the host of The Art of Adventure podcast where he interviews lifestyle entrepreneurs, global travelers, and those who push the limits of human performance. There is a lot of overlap when it comes to adventure and courage. Both involve action and risk and a higher level of living for the sake of making your life a story worth telling. This is his story.

Turning passion into a project can be intimidating. This is the story of how two friends overcame intimidation by quick starting a podcast.
Frank and Axel met in the Air Force in 2007 when they were both stationed in Turkey. They became instant friends and created many shared experiences exploring the culture in Turkey. After a couple years, they went their separate ways and had only stayed in contact through phone. In November of 2015 they agreed on starting a project. The Noise Cancelling Pod was born. Their project is about “streamlining life, encouraging discourse, appreciating each other.”
This is their story.

I used to have low self-esteem. It’s strange to say that because most friends and acquaintances consider me to be confident. That wasn’t always the case.
Though others may consider me to be confident, it’s not enough. I am still on a quest to gain greater self-confidence. Why? I believe that there is a certain level of self-confidence needed to live out my destiny. And that is the purpose of Courageous Self-Confidence.
When people ask me where my self-confidence comes from, I sometimes tell them about my greatest breakthrough in self-confidence. This is that story – How I went from low self-esteem to the start of self-confidence. The transformation happened took place my sophomore year of high school when I came across an ancient text.

Here you will find five different ways of how to encourage someone in the workplace. And these tips are highly applicable outside the workplace too.
Encouragement is as simple as it sounds – imparting courage upon others. The more you can shine light on the unique abilities of others, bring life into conversation, and operate from a genuine place, the more positive a work environment you will find yourself.
Follow these five ways of encouraging others at work and you will find yourself becoming a catalyst of encouragement in your workplace.
Listen to the podcast episode here.
1) Give sincere compliments
The fastest way to build someone up is through sincere compliments. When you give a genuine compliment to someone, you speak life and affirmation into that individual. It builds confidence in one’s self. It can be a very powerful thing. The best type of compliment is one that is sincere. So compliment the things that YOU notice. Not the obvious.
Charles Schwab said “If I like anything, I am hearty in my approbation and lavish in my praise”. Dale Carnegie later coined the advice “be hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise”, modeling the wise words of Charles Schwab.
Notice that Charles Schwab started out with “If I like anything …” not only is he saying that you should give a lot of compliments, but he is saying that they must be sincere, “If I LIKE anything …”
2) Leave a post-it-note or other token
Take your compliments and gratitude to the next level by giving a token of appreciation. You don’t need expensive or large tokens of appreciation to encourage someone else. Leaving a small post-it-note with some words of encouragement will do.
I did this for a colleague. Months later we became enemies at work. However the post-it-note remained. Tokens of appreciation carry a lot of weight. Especially physical ones.
3) Use positive words in unexpected places
Brighten up someone’s day with unexpected positive words. One of the most perfect places to infuse positive words is in long administrative phone conversations. Put your encouragement on autopilot by getting a hold of an encouraging phonetic alphabet. Instead of using words like Charlie and Frank, use words like Courage and Friendship. This has the added benefit of winning your cable representative over for a better deal too.
4) Talk behind someones back
Not in a bad way. Talk up a storm about how much you appreciate another person. Spread good news about something one of your colleagues has done. Be someone that is constantly praising others behind their backs. By doing so, you will shift the environment.
Also when you praise others behind their back and word gets back to them, they will begin doing the same for you. Everyone will know you as someone who speaks well of others and they will begin to do the same. Consider this the truest form of anti-gossip.
5) Ask for advice and respond in enthusiasm
Everyone is smarter, wiser, better than you at something. Humbling isn’t it. Because everyone is a master at something, there is plenty that you can learn from others. So ask for advice. Learn from your colleagues. It is an honor to be treated as an expert, especially when it’s not their job to give the advice you are asking for.
Listen to their responses with enthusiasm. Give them your full attention by hanging on every word and responding with “wow” and “yes”. This is very encouraging. But make sure to do this with a spirit of sincerity. Really be curious and make an effort to learn something.
Word of caution, if someone is repeating themselves, and you begin to find them boring because of it. STOP. Assess yourself and ask, am I really listening to what they are saying? People usually repeat themselves because they haven’t gotten proper feedback that their message was heard. Enthusiasm is the best response.
We like the idea of someone taking us under our wing. But how do we establish that? Here is how to start a mentor relationship starting with what not to do.
Whether you are a novice or expert in your chosen area of discipline, seeking out mentors is always a good idea. Now it’s just a matter of hitting it off right.

1) Avoid saying “mentor relationship” and “mentor”
Calling someone your “mentor” unless the person is your boss or business partner, can get messy. It can quickly repel the person you are seeking advice from. The reason is that it is far too much pressure for one person to have. They almost feel responsible for your success. This is not a responsibility you want to put on anyone, especially when you are trying to establish this type of relationship.
2) Seek out multiple mentors
Diversity is key here. If you can have multiple advisers and counselors to your success, then do it. Diversifying the advice and wise counsel that comes into your life is smart. As the wise saying goes, “Blessed is the man with many advisers.” This will mitigate the risk of bad advice.
3) Look for qualities, skills, talents, and experience you want to have
A mentor relationship should be established based on the person you want to become. Find someone that is further along than you. Your relationship will be about learning (for you) and bringing meaning (for them). Tell them that you admire these qualities about them. This will start the mentor relationship off on the right foot.
4) Close the loop by taking advice and reporting back
There is nothing more demoralizing to an adviser than giving advice that nobody ever follows. On the other side of that coin, when someone gives you advice, and you are able to report the results, you enrich the lives of that person. You begin to create significance and meaning in their life in such a way that brings happiness and fulfillment. This is the most powerful part of the nurturing process of a mentor relationship. Do this often. The more you are able to do this, the stronger the relationship will become.
Bonnie Lafer wasn’t always about changing lives by awakening personalities through confidence techniques. Her story starts with social shyness.
As an working class adult, Bonnie struggled with speaking up for herself, standing up for herself, and believing in herself. It wasn’t until she decided to take her passion for acting and pursue a way of living that freed her to become who she truly is – a cheerful, friendly, and generous person. This is her story of transformation.

“Your perception of me is a reflection of you. My reaction to you is an awareness of me.” -Unknown/Catherine click to tweet
“I don’t just face my fears, I embrace them.” – Catherine Plano click to tweet
Catherine Plano on self-limiting beliefs
The last time and one that still resonates with me is the time I left my corporate life earning $150K to ZERO – when I made the decision to start my own company, now that was an experience I will never forget. When you work for a large corporation, they have their sales, marketing and all the departments that is required to run a large corporation but when you decide to take the plunge and try it out for yourself, there is only YOU and that’s scary, your stuff comes up like:
am I good enough?
am I smart enough?
do I know what I am doing?
will people believe in me?
what about if I fail?
what will people think of me? and… the list goes on….
It was a constant battle for 12 months, and one day it dawned on me, when I was at my lowest, lowest point in life. I had an epiphany! I realised that what I was perceiving as my reality, I was actually projecting into my world and manifesting exactly what I was believing and creating for myself.
And… this is when I decided to change, even if I wasn’t where I wanted to be, I had to pretend that I was exactly where I wanted to be (I will go more into the story in the interview) and from that my motto became ‘fake it until you make it’ and so I did completely that! I started to think the opposite and things changed and starting turning around.
The moral of the story is this – if you think and see your reality as your map of your world, then you will behave this way and create exactly that for yourself. I now teach this stuff because it is that simple, we make it complicated.
Catherine Plano on fear
FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real
Fear is not real; it’s a figment of our imaginations. I don’t just face my fears, I embrace them, I dance with my fears as I know fears are a product of our thinking and perception, it is our own imagined interpretation of an outcome. Fears are simply stories we tell ourselves. So all you need to do is change your story and focus on that one until it manifests into reality.
Catherine Plano on regaining confidence
I do a lot of public speaking and sometimes for no reason, I get nervous, I get butterflies in my belly and the more I focus on how nervous I am, then guess what? The more nervous I become and there goes all my confidence – out the door! My nerves perpetuates into something that is out of control.
So now instead of trying to calm my nerves and try to feel confident, I turn my butterflies into excitement – after all it is the meaning we give things, when we experience them. With that in mind I also trick my mind with my body language, and the message I tell myself.

Going deeper in a conversation feels scary, but the connection is worth it. The answer to how to have a conversation that goes deeper is vulnerability.
Have you ever had a long conversation with someone, but you didn’t feel any closer to that person than when you first started the conversation? This is usually because there wasn’t a theme of vulnerability – a willingness to put yourself on the line and be humble enough to ask questions.
