Session Outlines

DEVELOPING CONFIDENCE FROM EXISTING STRENGTHS

As long as we rely on other people, events, or outside influences to establish our levels of confidence, we can never fully realize our potential. Confidence can be developed and strengthened by building self-esteem and expanding your opportunities by listening, learning, and actively pursuing the skills you already have. If you have always wondered what it would be like to walk into the room with your head held high, with feelings of self-doubt replaced by an air of self-assurance, this practical, interesting session is for you.

Rationale for this session:
It doesn’t matter how high your IQ is, how great you look, or how effective your communication skills are if you do not have the confidence to interact with others. Many intelligent, productive professionals fail to make their mark merely because of a lack of social and personal confidence.

Behavourial experts say that there are two primary reasons that people don’t do something. The first is that we don’t know what to do and/or how to do it, and the second is that we essentially choose not to do it, despite having the knowledge to act. This second reason is interesting and baffling: if someone has the desire and ability to act, why on earth wouldn’t he/she do so? Most frequently the answer is that we lack confidence, and we let our fear override our motivation to enact change.
