Self Doubt is within all of us. We come into the world and the world teaches us to doubt ourselves about our ability to compete, to win at life, to give a great talk, to compare ourselves to our brothers & on & on. Yet, as your Coach continues to appreciate you and compliment you, the critical (self-doubt) inner voice becomes smaller and smaller over time. You get to a place where you can overcome it and move forward into navigating new waters.
With the right Coach, self-doubt can be wiped out as a critical inner voice that once controlled your life and disempowered your “seeming” inability to play big in the world. Coaching is a key ingredient in building confidence for the client. Congratulating you when you have a success! Complimenting you at each and every accomplishment and new direction. So when a Coach demonstrates great belief in you……the belief is then transferred to your belief in yourself….as it builds and grows over the course of the Coaching Engagement. This principle is very real and it works for all of us when we open ourselves to receive the compliments, the accolades from a trusted partner. Receiving praise and taking the praise in fully will build you back to the person you were always meant to be in this world! I know this because it happened to me. And it made me a better Professional, a better friend, and a better co-worker, not to mention a better family man too. The world has a way of knocking us down over time, right? A great coach does the opposite by building you up. Self-doubt is the greatest albatross ever invented to hold you back from your own inner greatness. So today, get into a dialogue with a coach, and see if a Coaching Engagement may wake you up to the “Superstar” that is within you waiting to come out! Don’t surrender to cynicism, rather awaken to the True Self within you that wants to come out and spread connection, abundance and success everywhere you go.
