Comment utilisez-vous la confiance pour créer un changement positif?

Confidence in what you do is only positive if you can separate it from what makes you valuable. If you believe you are valuable for what you can do & have, you are doomed to chase a carrot into a rat-race maze being manipulated into doing things that are not truly designed with your best interest in mind. Strengths can be weaknesses & viceversa. It is through vulnerability & humility that strengths can be tempered into vehicles of positive change. Remember that you are valuable beyond your work, possessions, relationships & skills. How you add value to yourself drives your actions; pick a value of a higher vibration than simply generating money to reach the next evolution of mankind’s consciousness.

Confidence is a very misplaced quality. It’s a combination of an emotional response and skill to overcome various fears - of unknown, under-prepared etc. This results in the ability of oneself to be self-assured and believe in oneself when facing contingencies. Identifying one’s strength is the first step to develop this skill. Alongside, do recognise the weaknesses which shall enable building confidence even in those situations which we aren’t familiar with or comfortable with.

Actually knowing my strengths has helped me know what I can do and what I can't do. It has also made me more productive most especially when I focus more on my strengths and put more time towards it.

Confidence is a state of feeling that drives a particular kind of action in the homo sapien species. Let us understand confidence from the vision of most sciences to get a 360degree view. The objective sciences (biology, chemistry and neurosciences) consider it as a stage having certain chemical hormones in your system. This removes fear. That person is actively looking to do some productive activity. The Psychological sciences (psychology, sociology) Infer an clear interpersonal state of relationships building trust .This results in a resolved state free from fear. Here the person is actively looking to interact with the people to establish productivity and leadership. As per Spiritual sciences (religion)he is ready to believe. Be good.

Confidence is the key to making good things happen. When you believe in yourself and your abilities, you're more likely to take action, overcome challenges, and inspire others to join your efforts. It gives you the strength to face setbacks, learn from them, and keep moving forward. Confidence helps you communicate effectively, build strong relationships, and set and achieve your goals. So, by being confident, you can create positive change in your life and the world around you.

Embrace challenges with a positive mindset, believing in your ability to overcome obstacles. Communicate assertively and authentically, inspiring confidence in yourself and others. Take calculated risks, stepping out of your comfort zone to initiate meaningful change and lead by example.

One thing that I have found helpful over the years is looking for the evidence when those thoughts creep in and most times there is no evidence to support the limiting belief so I keep reminding myself and write things down and revisit when similar thoughts creep in

Very often, our limiting beliefs are stories we created as kids and believed were true. Sometimes because someone told us we needed to do more, or be more, or prove more; and sometimes because we assumed it. Challenging those beliefs sometimes means, clarifying those stories to the kid that created them.

Confidence can be a powerful catalyst for positive change. It involves believing in your abilities and taking action towards beneficial outcomes.

Confidence to me is that point when what you are after is impossible, and things are so hard that you tell yourself "Just do it anyway." it's at that point when you know you have lost but you choose to do it anyway

Confidence is Future Trust Capital (FTC). It is the trust you deposit in your future self's ability to handle whatever challenge may come up. Your 3 steps to positive change are: 1. Use your time tangent wisely. Clinging to past negative experiences feeds depression; holding on to future fears, anxiety. Stay in the present. Focus only on the step to accomplish TODAY. 2. Write up an inventory of related past achievements. Looking for a job? List all the successful job interviews you had. Up for promotion? List all previous promotions along your career. Write by hand, our brain does its wiring better through hand writing. 3. Ask your trusted people: what advise do they most like to come to you for. That's your treasure trove of top skills!

This aspect can't be over emphasized, you see setting realistic goals can make it easier for you to achieve them overtime. I remember when I used to set so much goals for myself, I usually ended up feeling so much frustrations when I failed to achieve them. But when I started setting realistic goals, I was able to achieve them as most of them were quick, measurable, easier for me. Result? I started to see myself making progress and I was glad about that. I knew then I was ready for the next bigger taks ahead.

Confidence can be a powerful tool for creating positive change in various aspects of life. Here are some ways to leverage confidence: Set Goals: Define clear, ambitious objectives. Take Action: Act decisively, regardless of obstacles. Embrace Challenges: Confront difficulties as opportunities for growth. Seek Opportunities: Pursue new avenues for development. Be Resilient: Bounce back stronger from setbacks. Inspire Others: Motivate through your own confidence. Communicate Effectively: Express ideas with clarity and conviction. Build Relationships: Foster trust and respect in interactions.

Remember, not everyone who acts confident feels so from inside. Some are winging it until they actually make it. If you are a people pleaser and your self worth as a child was attached to recognition from others you will likely have trouble with confidence. The secret to fuelling positive change through confidence is to feel the fear and do it anyway. Prepare, stay in the present, have a list of your accomplishments at hand, get your friends tell you what they most appreciate from your skills - and then just go for it. Don't allow fear and doubt to hold you back. Little by little, you will see how you will build trust in your own skills and ability to respond to situations as they come up. Confidence is built, not born with!

This is very important. You see, the feedback you receive will help you know just how much progress you're making and it will show you where you need to make more progress so you can work on it and get better. You've got to remember that all feedbacks will not "always" be positive. So take the feedbacks and work on them so as to become better.

Asking for support/feedback, is already a sign of confidence. Author Brené Brown talks about this, being vulnerable enough to accept help, or support or feedback is a sign of courage. If you are already doing this, you might be more confident than you think.

It's all about the process. When we take one step, we already have something to look back at and be proud of. The sense accomplishment from that first step fuels the second step, and so on and so forth.

You also need to improve your circle of friends, they can be that force that motivates or tears you down. Imagine... After going through all the previous steps, You now return to people who don't show confidence or people who mock you for the progress you've made so far, it's just a total wasted effort! Rather, look for like minds to connect with, learn to form relationships with people you want to be like, and don't forget to show your confidence on online ( most especially on your social media presence) and offline as well. This is what I'm currently doing.

My client was struggling with confidence, she said that very often while she was in meetings with C-Levels at work, she would stay quite and follow their lead, but she wanted to be more vocal and share her views. We went deep into the topic and she had a realization: She always respected elders and authority figures from a place of deep admiration, holding the belief "they're older, they know better". While in the conversation, she realized she could respect them with due regard and at the same time share her opinions and ideas. With this clarity, the conversation was not anymore about confidence but about her new relationship with authority figures.

Being confident inspires others to pursue self-confidence. Instilling confidence in others is one of the greatest ways to influence positive change.
