What is Confidence?Una Doyle
When asked “What is confidence?” replies usually include things such being able to speak well with people, having belief in your ability, not holding yourself back and others trusting you to do the job.

Dictionary definitions of Confidence focus on two aspects:

  • A feeling of certainty
  • Self-belief – freedom from doubt

But how do you get this feeling of certainty? How can you get that level of self-belief? I believe that Confidence is a mixture of things.

Your Values:
Firstly it's about really knowing who you are. What you stand for. What is important to you in life to be, do or have.

Your Beliefs:
Many of us are conditioned with beliefs that are stopping us from achieving our goals. We want to do things – or sometimes stop doing things! – yet somehow we just don't seem to be able to make it happen.

Decision-making
Every decision you make is based upon your Values and your Beliefs. If we were rational human beings we would make decisions based upon our skills, knowledge and experience. Yet how often do people do things that just aren't rational? Lots of the time of course! Because we are emotional beings…

Your Life Purpose:
What is it that makes your heart sing? That you would do even if you never got paid for it? What makes you jump out of bed in the morning?

Your Life Purpose will undoubtedly use your talents, though using your talents doesn't necessarily mean that you are on purpose…

If you're not sure if you know your Life Purpose then you probably don't. Once you know, you know. Trust me, nothing will ever be the same again.

Your Life Vision:
What direction is your life going in? Where do you see yourself in the future, a year, five years, ten or even twenty?

What does that look like? What do you look like? How do you feel? Who else is there? What are you doing? What are they doing? How does this all fit together?

Decision-making
Now that you can bring your Life Purpose and Life Vision into the equation, this becomes even easier. Simply ask yourself:
•  Does this bring me closer to my Vision?
•  Will I be living in accordance with my Values?
•  Does this help me be ‘on Purpose'?
•  What beliefs, if any, would I have to overcome to make this happen?

Hey presto! Decision made… {grin}

Can you go through this process yourself? Yes but it will be much harder than doing it as part of team with an expert. An expert who has been there and done it the hard way. Who has access to knowledge, tools and techniques and the skills to share these with you and help you and your inner confidence to grow in a safe, confidential environment without any fear of judgement.
