1. FEATURE: How to Build Self-Esteem (Part Two)
In our last issue (click here for Part 1) we explored what we mean by Self Esteem, and the benefits of developing our sense of self. As we said, a strong self esteem will leave you with a robust sense of self. This allows you to feel more calm and secure when facing your everyday life.
Difference between Self Esteem and Self Confidence It's also important to remember the difference between Self Esteem and Self Confidence. Self Esteem is what we are, whereas Self Confidence is what we do. Another distinction is that Self Esteem is a given and remains through out our lives. Self Confidence, though, changes all the time, and usually increases as we grow up, until it starts decreasing again in our old age.
How to Develop Self Esteem* If you'd like to improve you self confidence, all you need to do is practice that activity the more you do, the more confident you will become at doing it. With Self Esteem, it's more about a decision, understanding and frame of mind. 1. Decide to make your sense of self-esteem unconditional. 2. Learn to accept yourself- accept that this is who you are right now. Accept the colour of your eyes, your hair, etc and then move to accepting your attributes etc. Accept yourself. 3. Now ask “What can I appreciate about myself?” Appreciate your strengths. Appreciate what you are capable of. Appreciate who you are. 4. What can you now highly esteem about yourself? Just like you might find a beautiful sunset awesome – as something you hold in high regard – what can you highly regard within yourself? Feel that same feeling of awesomeness for yourself, for your uniqueness. Learn to esteem yourself. 5. Imagine moving through life with the weeks and months to come with this frame of mind... about yourself... Notice how it would transform things for you. Do you like this? Will you remember this? (*Based on the Neuro- Semantic Pattern “Accept,Appreciate, Awe”)
The more times you can repeat these five steps, the stronger your esteem will become. To you highly esteeming yourself! Telana
2. Inner Coaching's INNER Circle
Having identified a need to assist Business Owners in Networking, Inner Coaching has teamed up with the INNER Circle Business Forum to facilitate powerful business networking sessions in Sandton, Johannesburg. The first Sandton event was launched successfully in August. INNER Circle Sandton offers Decision Makers the forum, through the PASSION of the FACILITATOR who digs deep below the surface of every attendees business, to push for connecting business opportunities between guests. Consider that each of the INNER Circle meetings follows the same relaxed, facilitated process and results in anything from 10 to 30 new Business Owners, Directors and Decision-Makers being introduced to the network. It is an exciting avenue for businesses to market themselves, quickly and effectively. Our aim is to bring businesses together and show them how powerful networking can be. “INNER Circle is a CATALYST for doing quality Business,” points out Jacques de Villiers, entrepreneur and guest at the launch. Another guest, Ermelinde Mondriaan, business owner, commented that “the PASSION at these INNER Circle events is different to any other I have attended... it charged my battery.” “The value in learning and networking has already been beneficial for myself and my colleagues” said Nici Columbine, CEO, after the launch. On top of the VALUE of powerful networking, at every meeting each attendee can expect a 20 minute specialist knowledge insight from a Guest Speaker, business card Partners posted to INNER Circle Forum website and participation in Prize Draws. Business Networking seminars will be offered in the near future as part of quarterly/semi-annual INNER Circle seminars.
