Can you imagine yourself to be able to influence and inspire your colleagues? How does it feel. I bet it feels so great. But who would want to be influenced and inspired by you? What’s that, a stunned hush

Being able to answer that last question is important. If you are a manager, you can’t really do anything or be effective in your jobs, if your employees aren’t motivated to perform well.

Researchers at Birmingham University have found a direct link between higher levels of antibodies to flu and being in a happy marriage. They looked at men and women given the flu vaccine and measured the antibody response over the next 12 months. The results are showing that those who had high marital satisfaction had the higher antibody responses to the flu strain after just four weeks. On the other hand, those who are recently bereaved or divorced may find it hard to fight the virus.

The Birmingham team examined levels of antibodies in the blood. The body produces these antibodies to combat disease. An increase in antibody levels indicates that the body’s immune system is better prepared to fight off infection. This immune response is thought to be a good indication of the body’s capacity to fight back against the virus itself.

Any measure of confidence is by its nature pretty subjective. Other people may form an opinion about how confident you are based on your outside appearance and actions, but only you can know for sure what you feel like on the inside – what you believe to be true, and what it’s like to be you.

Your confidence level is different according to the time and place. If you think back ten years to a younger you, you probably realise that your confidence has grown since then according to the experiences you have faced, knowing that you have lived to tell the tale.

Being confidence makes us feel good. Confidence is an everyday experience, something you have quite often, except on those all important occasions when it seems to leave you and could really use more of it - whatever ‘it’ is. You may think you know what it is, and you may feel certain that you can recognise it when you see it, but you may struggle to define exactly what ‘it’ is.

When asked to think what confidence means, most people have a feel for it but find it quite difficult to tie down precisely. After all, confidence is not some miracle pill or wonder food you can buy in a shop.
