Whether you’re building your practice from scratch or looking to branch out into other areas, these simple steps will give you confidence boosting tips and ideas you can start using immediately. KNOW THAT YOU’VE DONE YOUR BEST If you’re just starting out and don’t feel confident about the treatments you’re offering, offer free sessions to build your confidence and your repertoire. When you know you’re providing an excellent service, it will be easier to charge what you’re worth. Pride in your work is a great confidence booster. START AN ACHIEVEMENTS LOG Spend 30 minutes to begin with and list everything you can think of. From qualifying in your particular therapy to getting your first paying client or learning how to cartwheel when you were 7, creating a list of things you are proud of yourself for (even if, to begin with, you don’t honour them as worthy achievements) will help boost your core esteem. THINK OF A TIME WHEN YOU FELT SUPREMELY CONFIDENT Your Achievements Log will have got you into a better frame of mind for this. Have a look at what you have so far and think of a time when you felt invincible. Take a few deep breaths and remember all the details of this moment. What were you doing? How did you feel? What could you see and hear and smell? Remember it as vividly as possible so that anytime you feel insecure, you can remember this moment and boost your confidence instantly. STAND UP STRAIGHT! Your parents were right. Posture matters. Not only does slouching damage your spine if repeated overt time but it can have a negative impact on your self-esteem. STOP DOING AND START BEING We spend so much time in Doing Mode (problem solving and generally trying to keep up with the frantic To Do lists we set ourselves) that our cerebral cortex becomes more developed than the sensory cortex which impacts on emotions and feelings. Even if you only spend a couple of minutes a day, you will reap benefits as you learn to reconnect on a regular basis with your calm, positive, whole centre. FLEX YOUR POSITIVE THINKING MUSCLES It’s a well known fact that we achieve what we think we can achieve. Without self-belief, humans would never have discovered fire, let alone the internet! For example, if you are worried that your client won’t like your session, imagine them loving it as you challenge and support them to becoming their best. Take time to centre yourself before your client walks through the door or calls. These positive thoughts will make you feel better each time you visualise your happy outcome. IDENTIFY ALL YOUR SUPPORT Many entrepreneurs buy into the “it’s a lonely life” myth and miss out on all sorts of support because they simply don’t acknowledge it. Family members, partners and friends, even if they are outside the industry, can be a huge support if you let them. It’s also useful to identify local groups (easily located through your library, specialist magazines and the internet) for networking with like minded people and, in some cases, getting feedback on your coaching or therapy. Some e-forums will also help you gain advice from more experienced practitioners (see www.applecoaching.com links’ page for some suggestions) STEP INTO YOUR POWER So you want your client to become a regular? Just remember that she or he is not all powerful. If you lose a client, remember that everyone has different tastes and that you‘ll soon attract clients who are a better match for you. In the meantime, do something nice for yourself to honour your disappointment but don’t wallow. Get into a resourceful state so you are ready to try again with more success! © Eve Menezes Cunningham.

Coaching and Performance Management By Chris Stowell When Performance Management replaced Performance Evaluation in Organizations, it was going to give leadership a different definition and much more credibility and accountability to all members of a team. Instead of having little control over personal development within the organization, leaders and team members could begin to create relationships that would develop a workforce with skills needed to compete in a globalizing world. Because this approach looks towards the future rather than the… 2. Is Your Life In Motion? By Anthony Grillo Ever since the Internet bubble and the 9/11 terrorist attacks, I’ve seen many people; including friends and family lose their jobs and/or personal fortunes overnight. The struggling economy has been merciless on the job market. It has affected every industry at every level, from line operators in manufacturing plants to upper management of Fortune 500’s.

It's Not What You Think By Judith Richardson My work in organizations involves dropping habitual ways of perceiving in order to contact a fresh and subtle perceiving “under the surface” of what is going on. That deeper sense of perceiving allows the emergence of what I call the Engaging Leader, or the genuine expression of myself and the collective.If we want to develop a deeper, subtler, way of perceiving situations, we need to be relaxed, open, confident, not expecting or demanding anything in particular. And we need to make friends wi… |
