What do you need to do and achieve in the next 3 to 6 months? And in the next year? And in the next 2 to 3 years?

Do you need tools and techniques to get ahead? Do you have a life coach, mentor, or role model? Take big steps—call to action. “I commit to coaching/mentoring you to the best of my ability, to believe in you, encourage you, and dedicate 100% of my energy and commitment.” “Push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.” “You can never plan the future based on the past.” Don’t be hard on yourself when you make mistakes. Recognise what brings you down. Avoid focusing on things out of your control. Don’t strive for perfection.

Set up a successful workshop with clients using Oakleaf Enterprise, a charity in Guildford, Surrey. Participants develop skills, steps, and techniques to improve confidence, self-esteem, and self-care. Participants receive handouts, action plans, and goals to implement. The environment is relaxed, encouraging sharing experiences and building friendships within the group. These sessions provide essential support for those facing mental health challenges.

Building Confidence: Steps to Achieve and Be More Confident

8 Powerful Tips

• Stop Comparing Yourself to Others: Build confidence by avoiding comparisons. Remember, we only see a small part of others’ lives, and everyone perceives and experiences things differently. You are unique, with endless possibilities in your own way. Comparing yourself to others often leads to unrealistic standards, especially to those you idolise or believe have it all. Focus instead on what it takes to be someone you admire within yourself. Develop your strengths, skills, and talents, and plan to achieve your personal goals.
• Always Make Eye Contact: Making eye contact shows confidence and worth. To make it less intimidating, look between the person's eyebrows, which appears natural from a distance. Practice maintaining eye contact to boost your confidence in all interactions. Improving physical appearance through exercise, good hydration, and healthy eating can also enhance self-confidence.
• Dress Sharp: Dress appropriately and neatly for occasions to make positive impressions and boost confidence. Good grooming and attire reflect your standards and can influence how others perceive and interact with you.
• Compliment Others Often: Focus on the positive in others; genuine compliments can foster positive interactions and boost your confidence. Helping others and community involvement increase self-esteem and provide a sense of purpose.
• Face Your Fears: Overcome fears by understanding their causes and facing them directly. Failure is part of growth; learn from it and move forward.
• Carry Confidence With You: Practice confident behaviours, such as speaking clearly, maintaining good posture, and positive body language. Confidence is a skill that can be learned and mastered with practice, leading to positive life changes.
