What do you think about “Confidence”? What is it? Where does it come from? What does it bring when you have it? How can you develop greater confidence in your Self?
When asked, Sigmund Freud’s daughter Anna once said …
“I was always looking outside for strength & confidence, but it came from within. It was there all the time”
Confidence can be viewed as an external reflection of the trust & beliefs we each have & hold deep inside our Selves. Others see it, feel it, and experience it, from our actions.
Though this may at first glance seem complex, it is possible to tease apart some of the core ingredients, and begin to understand what makes people appear confident, or not.
This requires us to raise our awareness and explore the combination of thoughts beliefs, attitudes, emotions & behaviours that we perhaps take for granted.
So as William Shakespeare spoketh in Othello.
“Our bodies are our gardens, to the which our wills are gardeners”
You know it’s time now to get to work in our gardens, isn’t it?
This Workshop therefore takes an emotionally intelligent approach to confident communication. Our focus connects inner thoughts, beliefs and attitudes, to the external actions and behaviours expressed through body language.
What we think & feel on the inside, predetermines how we behave on the outside, and hence the extent to which others perceive our confidence levels.
