What is the difference between arrogance and confidence?

<p>Dr Bob Choat started this conversation off strong by introducing the Competence Model. If someone has competence, they tend to be confident but if someone is pretending to be competent, they are more likely to be arrogant. </p> <p> </p> <p>Dawn Gagye summed up her thoughts succinctly, “Confidence as quiet and arrogance, as loud.” I think that is spot on. She went on to talk about how the energy feels different and how body language even comes into it (watch her part of the video. She does a great job of explaining it.)</p> <p> </p> <p>Judy Musa agreed saying that arrogance comes from a boastful and insecure place. She went on to share an example from the movie Polar Express.</p> <p> </p> <p>For me the difference has to do with being boastful – I know and you don’t or sharing – I know and let me show you.</p> <p> </p> <p>How do you decide if someone is arrogant or confident? Do you think gender plays a role in what you decide?
