| Confidence Coaching Like many people I used to believe that confident people were fortunate enough to have been born that way. I also admit to being envious of their success. After all…
We all know that a lack of confidence and self worth limits our ability to succeed in so many areas of life, but we are not always aware of the effect that these feelings can have on our health & wellbeing. A lack of confidence can be a real obstacle to enjoying a full life, but by taking a more hands-on approach you'll discover there are many ways to help you break through the mental barriers. Here are a few suggestions: Books Working on and developing confidence is within everybody's grasp. Initially, think about which area of your life you'd like to improve - such as confidence at work, with people, in relationships, self-image, etc. Once you've thought about the area you'd like to improve start doing some research. Go into any major bookstore or library to the self-help section and you'll find stacks of titles on how to improve self-confidence. It's worth taking time to look through a few before parting with your cash.
Internet The internet is another wonderful source of information. Simply type 'confidence coaching' into a major search engine and you'll tap into a wealth of expert advice and often FREE 'taster' sessions. Sites range from books and residential courses to one-toone and e-mail/telephone coaching. But again do your research before buying. Incidentally, if personal one-to-one coaching is what you want, go on a personal recommendation (if you can), check out the experience and credentials of the person offering the coaching and get to know them before making a financial obligation.
NLP The idea behind NLP is to help you do whatever you already do reasonably well even better. Through a series of exercises NLP can help you acquire skills and communicate more effectively with others, think more clearly, manage your thoughts/moods and behaviour more effectively. It may not suit all tastes but it's worth finding out about because it could be for you. It's important to say that courses can be quite expensive and require time commitment.
Emotional Development In recent research studies, a high level of emotional intelligence (EQ) has been found to be one of the most important determinants of 'success’ in a work context. Indeed, some claim that high emotional intelligence is associated with more wide-reaching 'life success’. Developing our emotional intelligence is a powerful way to develop confidence in ourselves, those around us and our future. Again there is more information about EQ on this website. Click Here
