Quote of the day:
“The truly successful person inspires others to do more than they have thought possible for themselves.”—Denis Waitley
Consider:
Everyone needs to feel confident and secure in the knowledge that he or she has something to offer others. Building confidence is like building a large structure. It takes time, patience, and the right kind of building blocks. A solid foundation needs to be laid brick by brick. The blocks for building confidence in others come in various forms—recognition, encouragement, appreciation, acceptance, admiration, trust, and above all, love.
Keep plenty of these building blocks on hand and use them at every opportunity. When you notice someone has done something that is commendable, don’t keep silent. When someone does a good job or is of service to you, appreciate them, voice your thankfulness. When you see someone struggling with a new or difficult task, show faith in them. When you notice someone hiding on the sidelines, involve that person in a positive way.
Build your structure with care, because while nothing builds confidence like success, nothing damages it as quickly or surely as failure. Tailor your expectations to individuals’ needs and abilities, and then praise them when they do well. Be mindful not to push them or expect too much too soon.
Wishing you all the best,
Coach Dana
