The socio-psychological concept of self-confidence relates to self-assuredness in one's personal judgment, ability, power etc., sometimes manifested excessively.[1]Being confident in yourself is infectious if you present yourself well, others will want to follow in your foot steps towards success. It is also tied up in self-esteem which according to Webster’s means:
Belief in oneself, self-respect
The brilliant thing about self confidence is that anyone can improve their own levels through changing the way they think, which in turn changes the way they behave, which in turns changes the way that other people respond to them. Small changes make a huge difference.
Have a go at our questionnaire below. Answer honestly and don't over-think it.
The more ‘Yes’ answers you have the more scope you have to make changes and what we find is that one or two changes result in very positive effects; improving your self esteem and developing your self confidence so that you can go ahead and do some of the things that you thought you never could.
Sometimes we have to learn to say ‘No’ to other people and learn to be a little bit more assertive. That’s why we have combined our self-confidence workshop with our assertive one.
Check out the dates for the next course. You can have the confidence to book onto it because our workshops are supportive and fun and you will never be asked to do anything that you are not capable of or would cause you embarrassment.
