Turns out alot of us in the Shreveport are lacking the same thing — confidence! And experts say there’s a easy way to fix that! Basically, fake it till you make it!

A new poll found the average Shreveport resident feels insecure five times a day.  But half of people who pretend to be confident say it actually MAKES them more confident.  A third overall said it’s something they do a lot.

The top things that can shake our confidence on a typical day include speaking in front of a large group . . . not being fully prepared for something . . . and being the last person to show up for a meeting.

The top jobs we associate with confidence are doctors and nurses . . . members of the military . . . people in business . . . politicians . . . and athletes.

And finally:  The poll also looked at the top traits we admire in confident people.  The top five are being knowledgeable . . . kind . . . decisive . . . authoritative . . . and fearless.
