Improving self-confidence - tools & techniques
Self-confidence is the foundation of effective action, communication, and professional development. In mentoring and coaching, working on it is particularly important—it helps the mentee recognize their own resources, appreciate achievements, and learn to boldly take on new challenges. Lack of self-confidence often stems not from a lack of competence, but from limiting beliefs or previous experiences. Properly selected techniques allow for the gradual rebuilding of self-esteem and trust in one's own decisions.
