It's amazing how many people I coach who lack confidence when presenting in meetings. Often described as 'it's like walking into the lion or lionesses den'!!! which causes overwhelming levels of anxiety, nerves and worse case impact on mental health.

So next time you're in a meeting and someone comes along to present, really take a moment to consider the impact you have or want to have on others

Really enjoyed this....and I have always been a firmer believer in taking small steps make a big difference....which Christine Carter describes as better-than-nothing goals.

We have all experienced emotional triggers at some point....or we know what our negative emotional triggers are. Examples.....

- someone sends you an email that makes you think or say FFS!

- someone challenges you in a meeting and you take it personally

- someone suggested a million amends to a presentation you've spent hours on

- someone hasn't done what you asked them to do....even though you've explained a million times

Have you noticed.....its 'someone' else that triggers you? Next time something/someone triggers you try the following.....

- take a deep breath......walk away.....reset

- be present and acknowledge how you are feeling

- ask yourself, is my reaction helpful (if its making you feel rubbish then no)

- ask yourself.....what's in my control and what's not?

- turn your negative thoughts into a more positive statement

- take action if appropriate

Personal Development Alert!

Self Confidence......'a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgement'

1) On a scale of 1-10....how would you rate your self confidence (10 being your nailing it)?

2) Is your self-confidence getting in the way of making progress in either a personal and or professional capacity?

3) If there was one thing you could do (that's in your control) to increase your rating by 1, what would it be (small things make a big difference!)?
