Quote of the day:
Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consider:
People often lose faith in themselves and in their own abilities. They clearly see their mistakes, inabilities, and failings, and have to combat their negative self chatter which is always right there to magnify their faults and tell them, "Yes, you are a failure and you'll never amount to anything. You might as well give up now.”
But when someone comes along and shows confidence in them, it can often be the ray of hope that they need to turn things around and keep going.
Try to think of at least one thing that you find outstanding in a person, and then make it your task to let them know. Reinforce the fact that you see and know how excellent they are in that specific way. Don't be shy; they won't get tired of hearing it. What you're doing is building confidence in that one area, and as they gain confidence, they will start to improve in other areas as well.
Wishing you all the best,
Coach Dana
