Let\u2019s explore how this important coaching specialty can create an impact on your clients.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-confidence\">What Is Confidence?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/what-is-confidence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Confidence<\/a> is our belief in ourselves, our abilities, and our worth. Maintaining healthy self-esteem is key to tackling challenges, pursuing goals, and handling setbacks with resilience and positivity.<\/p>\n<p>It is, as the co-founder of Mindvalley Coach <strong>Ajit Nawalkha<\/strong> explains, \u201c<em>trust in our own abilities to be able to do a particular task at hand, to deliver to a particular requirement that we have committed to<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, confidence is not an innate trait or ability but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/journals\/psychology\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2016.00518\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a skill that we can develop<\/a>. It\u2019s a learned behavior that needs consistent patience.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bctt-click-to-tweet\"><span class=\"bctt-ctt-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.mindvalley.com%2Fconfidence-coach%2F&amp;text=Confidence%20can%20be%20developed%20over%20time%20in%20any%20situation%20that%20we%20choose%20to.%20%E2%80%94%20%40ajitna&amp;via=mindvalley&amp;related=mindvalley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Confidence can be developed over time in any situation that we choose to. \u2014 @ajitna <\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.mindvalley.com%2Fconfidence-coach%2F&amp;text=Confidence%20can%20be%20developed%20over%20time%20in%20any%20situation%20that%20we%20choose%20to.%20%E2%80%94%20%40ajitna&amp;via=mindvalley&amp;related=mindvalley\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"bctt-ctt-btn\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click To Tweet<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Confidence also has to do with our ability to connect with others. The more we\u2019re wrapped up in our digital bubble, the less we seem to initiate new conversations with others.<\/p>\n<p>This negatively affects both community building and mental health, the two important factors in becoming more confident and well-rounded individuals.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-do-we-lack-confidence\">Why Do We Lack Confidence?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gitnux.org\/self-confidence-statistics\/#:~:text=85%25%20of%20people%20report%20struggling%20with%20self%2Dconfidence%20issues%20at%20some%20point%20in%20their%20lives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In a study<\/a>, 85% of people reported that they struggled with self-confidence issues at some point in their lives. When we feel we lack confidence, we are usually:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Hypercritical of ourselves.<\/strong> We judge our response to life instead of taking our experiences as lessons to learn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Procrastinating.<\/strong> When we avoid doing things, we are encouraging the self-dialogue of not being ready enough and thus losing our confidence in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>However, as Ajit explains, confidence is \u201c<em>not so much of a feeling<\/em>.\u201d You don\u2019t \u201cfeel\u201d confident. \u201c<em>You know you\u2019re confident<\/em>\u201d\u2014and that\u2019s why it\u2019s more of a skill or a learned behavior.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-confidence-coach\">What Is a Confidence Coach?<\/h2>\n<p>Self-esteem coach, self-worth coach, self-confidence coach\u2014they\u2019re all essentially the same name for confidence coach. Regardless of the title, it all boils down to this: a confidence coach is someone who helps clients develop and strengthen their self-belief, overcome self-doubt, and cultivate a positive mindset. They empower others to pursue their goals with courage and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>As one in this niche, it is your role to bring awareness to the limiting beliefs your clients may be subjecting themselves to. Using various <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/coaching-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coaching techniques<\/a>, you work with them to reassess situations in which they don\u2019t feel successful as opportunities for learning and growth.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-confidence-coaches-do\">What Do Confidence Coaches Do?<\/h2>\n<p>Obviously, confidence coaches help their clients with, well, confidence. But there are several other things that they do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify and address limiting beliefs and self-doubt.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a positive mindset.<\/li>\n<li>Provide tools and techniques for cultivating self-esteem.<\/li>\n<li>Encourage clients to step out of their comfort zones and take bold actions.<\/li>\n<li>Foster a supportive and empowering coaching relationship.<\/li>\n<li>Help clients recognize and leverage their strengths.<\/li>\n<li>Provide feedback and accountability to track progress and celebrate successes.<\/li>\n<li>Empower clients to navigate social situations and assert themselves effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, when it comes to women or minorities, confidence coaches may also address systemic issues affecting self-esteem.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2024\/02\/89cc7da3-confidence-coaching-mindvalley-blog-02-midjourney-seo-team.webp\" alt=\"Happy client working with his confidence coach\" class=\"wp-image-71334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2024\/02\/89cc7da3-confidence-coaching-mindvalley-blog-02-midjourney-seo-team.webp 1456w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2024\/02\/89cc7da3-confidence-coaching-mindvalley-blog-02-midjourney-seo-team-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1456px) 100vw, 1456px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ajit-nawalkha-s-top-3-tips-on-how-to-build-confidence-as-a-confidence-coach\">Ajit Nawalkha\u2019s Top 3 Tips On How to Build Confidence as a Confidence Coach<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s the thing with confidence: You always have it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s something you have to nurture, to work on, to grow. \u201c<em>You have been talked out of it through the course of life because of things that may have happened<\/em>,\u201d says Ajit. \u201c<em>And now you\u2019re relearning the skill to be confident<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So whether it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/self-coaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">self-coaching<\/a> to be more poised or to help your clients regain trust in themselves, here\u2019s where you can start:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-trust-yourself\">1. Trust yourself<\/h3>\n<p>\u201c<em>One builds confidence by trusting themselves<\/em>,\u201d says Ajit. \u201c<em>So any activity that will help you trust yourself more will be something that will add on to your confidence<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Make promises you can keep, even if it\u2019s just showing up for a workout or learning a new word. Following through builds trust in yourself and, eventually, the confidence you seek.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s what Ajit calls \u201cthe confidence competence loop,\u201d which essentially states that the more you\u2019re competent at doing something, the more confident you are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Because you have gotten more confident, you get more competent, and the loop keeps increasing<\/em>,\u201d he adds. Soon enough, you\u2019ll trust yourself to tackle bigger goals.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-take-imperfect-action\">2. Take imperfect action<\/h3>\n<p>No one goes from couch potato to marathon runner overnight. So, pick something you want to be confident in, like public speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Start by talking to a friend, then a small group, then maybe a class. Each success, even if wobbly, will boost your confidence for bigger challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>When you start taking imperfect action towards things that will give you more competence in that area<\/em>,\u201d Ajit explains, \u201c<em>slowly but surely, you will get some competence and, hence, some confidence<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They do call it \u201cbaby steps\u201d for a reason, after all.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-focus-on-progress-not-perfection\">3. Focus on progress, not perfection<\/h3>\n<p>We all stumble. Instead of getting hung up on mistakes, focus on how far you\u2019ve come.<\/p>\n<p>Did you give a presentation without fainting? <em>Celebrate that<\/em>. Did you finish your report? <em>Celebrate that<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For Ajit, his book, <em>The Book of Coaching<\/em>, was filled with mistakes. But he took that imperfect action and <em>\u201ccleaned up, and I cleaned up, and I cleaned up until I got it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The thing is, every imperfect action is going to propel you forward until you\u2019re competent in the thing you do. And once you feel like you\u2019re mastering that thing, it gives you the confidence to propel you to something further.<\/p>\n<p>So, Ajit advises asking yourself this question: What is it that you can do today to be able to take that imperfect action?<\/p>\n<p>Then take it. And in between, celebrate every step, big or small, and your confidence will soar.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-build-the-confidence-you-need-to-change-lives\">Build the Confidence You Need to Change Lives<\/h2>\n<p>\u201c<em>Confidence is not static<\/em>,\u201d Ajit says. \u201c<em>It\u2019s not this place that you get to; it\u2019s a place that you\u2019re already at<\/em>.\u201d And with the right tools at hand, you can confidently coach anyone\u2014even if you\u2019re a beginner.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more, join the free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/certs\/life\/masterclass?utm_source=blog_inline_link&amp;utm_campaign=launch_clc_jan_2023&amp;utm_medium=end_of_article&amp;otag=mv_blog_certs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Become a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach<\/em><\/strong><\/a> masterclass.
