#184: TEACHING CONFIDENCE TO OTHERS

TEACHING CONFIDENCE TO OTHERS PODCAST #184 In this week’s episode of Confidence on the Go we’re chatting about: * 5 ways to teach confidence to others through your intentional leadership * 1 simple trick to teach deeper confidence to yourself on a daily basis * How to implement the power of eye contact to feel better in the skin you’re in and to inspire others to feel the same way about themselves. Just a quick hello to all of my Keep the Faith listeners out there – thanks for being part of the community of contagious encouragement. SPONSORSHIP NOTE: I am proud to be an educator and consultant for Beautycounter, a B-Corp company on a mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone.   The lack of regulation in the personal care and cosmetic industry is astounding and it is harming our health in very serious ways. We need more voices to join up on our mission. If you want to put your passion to purpose while being generously compensated, then I would love to start a conversation with you about what it means to be involved in the #saferbeauty tribe that is Beautycounter. Join the movement of #betterbeauty and message me via email to make your voice really resonate for a cause. 5 SIMPLE WAYS TO TEACH CONFIDENCE IN OTHERS: INTENTIONAL POTENTIAL Be intentional about highlighting and speaking to people’s possibilities and potential. Speak to the possibility of potential and be intentional about not only seeking out the potential in others, but speaking to it and bringing it to light. MENTOR THE MIND Train the mind like a muscle and work with others to teach them the power of their own thoughts and their choice over how they experience the circumstances and events of their lives. Invite others to establish a schedule for mindset coaching and communicate the value of mentoring the mind together through book groups, podcasts, open conversation, etc., in short, real community. ENCOURAGE AND BUILD Understand that most often, the biggest hurdles keeping anyone from success and world-class output in their lifestyle are their fears and insecurities, so knock those hurdles down by speaking out-loud about them, sharing your own story authentically and working together so they know they are not alone or unique in the struggle. Help others make friends with fear by committing to be more familiar with it – by doing one thing every day that scares and challenges you (and as you do, you will carve your own confidence even more clearly.) BUILD BOLD VISION Give people permission to dream and to leave self-limiting, self-doubting, small goals behind them. Speak openly about your own short term, long-term and BHAG goals, and invite them to share openly with you too. Create a community where sharing vision and leveraging your attitude to the highest altitude it can go becomes the status quo, and by doing so, bold vision will become natural and more compelling to follow through on. SET THE EXAMPLE Confidence is contagious, and it is something that can be passed down by living out the example of choosing it daily. Set high standards of consistency for others by setting the example to always choose confidence, to not let fears keep you from stepping outside of your comfort zone and to redefine failure and setbacks as mere cul-de-sacs on the road to success. Tolerate only good thinking and approach the training of your thinking with the same seriousness and attentiveness that you approach the training of your body. WHY EYE CONTACT MATTERS It connects us to ourselves with more self-awareness Our eyes can read emotions and beyond what words express
