Passion and Direction
Perseverance and Determination

#9 - How You View YOU
One of the most attractive character traits of a great speaker or leader is humble confidence.
Someone who is confident, but not cocky
Someone who is humble, but does not have an "aw-shucks" attitude
The best speakers are Experts who also view themselves as Fellow Travelers.
