Microsoft Virtual Internship

Bringing your professional voice

to the Microsoft table
Template
Answer the following three questions (one per slide):

1. What is confidence and why it is important to demonstrate it in the workplace?

2. Think of a friend, colleague or leader who demonstrates confidence. What are the key
characteristics that this person demonstrates?
3. How can you demonstrate confidence and bring your voice to the table at Microsoft?
• Confidence is a belief in oneself, the conviction that one has the
ability to meet life's challenges and to succeed—and the willingness
to act accordingly. Being confident requires a realistic sense of one’s
capabilities and feeling secure in that knowledge.
• A healthy level of confidence, however, will make you more likely to
engage in challenging but manageable projects, will help you get
outside your comfort zone, and allow you to achieve new goals--all of
which are valued characteristics of successful workers
