Self-confidence is an important attitude needed to achieve success and overcome challenges. Many people face setbacks due to a lack of self-confidence, which can prevent them from reaching their full potential. While this may happen, there is always time to build self-confidence, thanks to the many resources available to help.
The All About Self-Confidence handout is designed to build and strengthen self-confidence in clients by letting them understand where true confidence comes from. It covers key points such as the qualities of a confident person, the power of positive self-talk, and more. It also includes a list of behaviors to avoid that can undermine confidence.
Regularly engaging with this poster can improve self-esteem and lead to greater success. For example, following the poster’s advice on positive affirmations can help improve self-image and lead to more confident interactions and better decision-making.
To make the most of the poster, kids and teens can consider pairing it with a daily affirmation routine or a daily journal that reflects their goals and aspirations. Caring adults can offer support by doing regular check-ins where young people review their progress, talk about challenges, and celebrate their successes.
