Importance of Confidence at Work and in Life

Self-confidence is important as it allows you to fulfill your potential in life. Some benefits of having a high level of self-confidence include:

  • Less anxiety – Being more self-confident means that you will be able to deal better with your inner critic, that voice in your head that causes self-doubt and says that you cannot do something.
  • More motivation – A confident person is more likely to step outside their comfort zone and expand their limits. The more you step outside your comfort zone and succeed, the more motivated you will become.
  • Better ability to deal with setbacks – A self-confident person does not let failures affect their self-worth. Instead, they take each setback as a challenge and as an opportunity to learn and improve.
  • Better relationships with others – A person who lacks self-confidence is usually focused on their own faults and limitations, and on what other people may think about them. This can lead to self-obsession. Conversely, if you are confident, rather than focusing on yourself, you will be more open towards others as you will feel more relaxed, rather than constantly comparing yourself to other people.
  • Better ability to deal with criticism – If you are self-confident, you are less likely to take any criticism personally and go on the defensive. Instead, you will take on board any constructive ideas for improvement and discard the rest.

Training your employees to build their self-confidence in the workplace will have benefits for your company as self-confident workers are more likely to:

  • Work better as a team
  • Deal better with conflict
  • Take feedback on board
  • Have good communication skills
  • Be more productive
  • Be happier at work and less likely to leave
  • Embrace change and innovation
  • Influence others
  • Be better leaders
  • Deal more assertively with customers, providers, and business partners

Our ‘Self-Confidence Building for Adults‘ training course materials are designed to help your employees and your training participants develop their self-belief, so they can express their full potential.

Why Is It a Good Idea for You, as a Trainer, to Teach a Workshop on Developing Self-Confidence?

Personal development is an area in which there is great interest these days.

People like to feel empowered, particularly at a time when it has become commonplace to change career path at any stage in life. Self-development has become ever more important to help us deal with a fast-changing world.

Also, companies are becoming increasingly aware of the importance to support their employees’ well-being to make sure they are happy at work, which improves productivity and lowers staff turnover.

So, it is a good idea to add self-confidence development as part of your training portfolio.

Duration

1 day – for classroom training.

If you are delivering this course as virtual training, you can break it down into 1 or 2 hours’ modules to be delivered on different days.

The course is structured around its learning objectives, so every learning objective constitutes a sub-section of the course and you can easily break the course down into chunks if need be.

Outline and Objectives

The aim of this course training package is to help participants understand how to build their confidence and self-esteem and teach them confidence-building strategies.

These training course materials are designed to teach anyone who would like to develop their self-confidence. However, they are not meant as a replacement for professional psychological support for those who suffer from very low levels of self-esteem and/or from depression.

If this is the case for any of your participants, the information in this package can provide useful tools for them, but they will need to use this information in conjunction with support by mental health professionals.

At the end of the course, your participants should be able to:

✔ Discover what self-confidence is and why it is important.

✔  Identify the things that affect self-confidence.

✔ Apply strategies to build your self-confidence.

✔ Appreciate the importance of setting goals to build self-confidence, and develop a goal-setting strategy.

Delivery Method

This course is designed for a trainer to deliver it to a group of people in a classroom.

You can also use the materials to teach online, via Zoom or other conference software or learning management systems, as the Word documents and PowerPoint slides can easily be used for distance learning. We also provide, as part of the package, tips, and advice on how to run the activities virtually.

Even though the course is designed to be trainer-led, we have made sure that the materials contain a variety of activities (including discussions, questions and answers, and handouts to fill) to keep the participants engaged.
