Confidence Coaching

At different times in our lives most people could benefit from a boost in confidence. This can be in times of uncertainty or change when we do things for the first time or face an ambiguous situation. Examples might be when we leave a relationship, get made redundant or lose someone close.

When we experience set backs in life we can have a tendency to internalise them and take the responsibility for them at an unreasonable, and certainly unhelpful, level. For example I’ve coached people who have been made redundant, who have totally lost their self esteem and self confidence. In some cases it’s almost as if they lost their own identity when losing their job. Similarly, people can feel very lost and uncertain after a separation – after a divorce or break up or after a bereavement of someone significant in their life.

For some people low self esteem is a constant and battle with feelings of self doubt and insecurity on a regular, for some daily, basis. Low self confidence can come from many sources such as childhood experiences, influences from early authority figures, a bad situation that hasn’t been dealt with properly and so on.

In my coaching practice, I’ve coached a lot of individuals who on the outside appear confident, successful and happy. However, on the inside, they’ve been putting themselves down, fraught with anxiety and negative thoughts about themselves. A common tendency is to seek out the evidence around them that support their negative beliefs in themselves. May that be the disapproving look someone gave them, the poorly received report, the friend who failed to return their call or even the fact that someone did not say hi to them in the corridor at work. However many positive and affirming events that happen to them, they only seem to notice and remember the ones that support their internal belief that they aren’t good enough. I’ve come to call this the ‘I’m a Fraud Phenomenon’. A feeling that it’s only a matter of time until someone will notice that I’m not as good, clever, funny, competent or whatever, as everyone thinks.

Whatever the reason for failing self confidence, and however long it’s been with a person, they can absolutely do something about it. That’s at the core of everything my coaching is about – we can improve where we are today for a much brighter and happier tomorrow. Whatever that looks or feels like for the individual. The only criterion is a need to want to change and take control with the full and dedicated support by me as your coach. We’re on the journey 100% together and whilst you own your goals and aspirations, I’m there with you to support and guide you along the way.

There are great benefits that come with building self confidence. Life becomes more enjoyable, fulfilling and positive as you increasingly value and appreciate yourself as well as the people around you. Now that’s a pretty good argument to start building stronger self confidence now, wouldn’t you agree?
