Confidence building - no idea where to start?
This is a really good question to ask a coach as it’s one of the main areas we work in.Confidence matters in almost all areas of our lives not just business, for example: relationships,work, parenting, life skills, decision making, achieving, improving situations or circumstances youdon't like, expressing yourself, risk taking, taking up new challenges, going for a new job,training, or job promotion. So you see, how we approach these situations will impact on theresults we achieve. It was Henry Ford who said if you believe you can do a thing or believe youcan’t do a thing, you are right. It is our mental attitude towards a task that means success orfailure. We need to look at where confidence comes from first.
Where does self-confidence come from?
It comes from several sources:
•
From within yourself
•
From others
•
From your achievementsSome people appear naturally confident, but guess what? They’ve learnt how to be that way andso can you! If you lack self esteem or self-confidence you must look at the above sources for thereasons. You may be overly critical of yourself or telling yourself negative things such as "I'mbound to fail" or "I'm not good enough" or even "I don't deserve to succeed". These will makefailure likely.
