CONFIDENCE (MINI LESSON)
KEY LESSONS:
Communication and confidence share a relational feedback loop. The more confident you are, the better you are able to communicate and the more you improve your ability to articulate, the more frequently confidence will come to you with ease.
This mini-lesson focuses on two key takeaways;
the call to confidently embody your gifts along a less conventional life.
Developing the compass to continue along, no matter what anyone else says.
ONE
“At some point the call is more important than the status quo.”
Every journey has a tipping point. Think of a specific time and place that impacted your path powerfully enough to create a fork in the road.
Reflect on and describe this moment in time.
Write a letter of gratitude to yourself at that stage.
TWO
“Don’t let compliments get to your head or criticism will grow in your heart.”
For one student a B+ could be the result of late-night study sessions, tutors and time in the library. For another, it’s the outcome of mediocrity and with some effort could have been an A+.
Praise and criticism are a reflection of the onlooker’s personal perspective, assumption of you, and interaction with the impact in their life.
This is not to say that feedback isn’t valuable, rather to stress the importance of an internal compass, groundedness and sense of accomplishment based on your own aptitude and internal evaluation.
Learning to create your personal commitments and value becomes a litmus for your individual assessment, actions and self-regulation.
What is something that comes easily to you? How can you improve?
What is something that seems to be a struggle for you? How do you know you’re successful in overcoming this challenge?
What is a compliment that you hear often?
Do you hold onto a particular criticism?
APPLY IT:
Content like this creates reflection, education and relatability for your clients. However, so many facilitators get stuck in finding information, research and time to put together a program that guides your patients/clients from Point A to Point B with authenticity and authority. Once you’ve completed or bookmarked this lesson, explore how to save time and money while amplifying your expertise with done-for-you-content.
