I have been asked a few times, "What is confidence coaching", "How can someone be coached to gain more confidence" ? So.... in this episode I explain how.

Coaching is all about discovering the patterns of behaviour and fears that are holding you back. Once that is done, you will learn how to recognize your triggers and learn how to deal with them better. Your perspective about things will change and you will feel more motivated to take little steps towards the changes or goals that once scared you. Self-confidence comes from a trust in yourself. A trust that you will be able to handle things. We are simply more confident in some areas of our life than others because we are more experienced in that area and have had positive outcomes. The good news is, you can transform negative experiences into more positive ones with the right guidance and support, just like a weak muscle can be slowly trained to become a strong one.
