ust a few of the hundreds of comments I have received over the years from my clients. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY CONFIDENCE?
Dictionary definition: self-belief, faith, self-reliance, selfassured, courage. My clients come to me when they are unhappy with their lives, with no faith in themselves, lack self-belief, rely on others for their happiness or to make decisions for them, and lack the courage to make the changes or to do what they want. It is so wonderful when I hear from my clients that they are now living their best life. Initially I work with them to establish the root cause of their low confidence, which they may or may not know, its my job to be the detective and find it. The causes can be specific events, such as a car accident and they become frightened of driving. They can be ongoing situations such as bullying and abuse. They can be beliefs learned from their upbringing. As Henry Ford said – “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t – you are right.” To quote my Headmistress “There is no such word as can’t.” Yet, how many times have you said “I can’t”?
