Be a More Confident You!

Have you ever been on a journey that you know is leading you to something greater than yourself? Well, I’m currently on that journey as I help launch our new Chain of Confidence Forum 9/25 in Dallas! By simply coordinating and promoting this event I have learned one valuable lesson….there are A LOT of women that NEED confidence. Regardless of background, upbringing, social status, current situation or age…ALL women need a confidence boost and positive support system. 

But what is confidence? I hadn’t really asked myself that question before. So I reached out to my social networks for the answer. I found many definitions of confidence but this one says it best….” When women come from a place of strength – all things are possible.”  WOW!!

So if that is true for one confident woman, what can be accomplished when many women link together in strength and confidence empowered to build confidence in themselves and others? I honestly don’t think words could describe that one!!! As I invite and share this event, I am overwhelmed by the responses from husbands wanting their wife to attend, women thinking of a friend that needs this so badly, leaders sharing this with their staff, mom’s sharing this with their adult daughters and strangers at Kinko’s asking me about the event on the poster I am creating. Everywhere I go the groundswell of  interest, excitment and sharing grows. Now you see why I quickly realized I was on a much more important journey than I first thought!

My new friend, CJ Small, shared Saturday at our Thrive with Five Event, that we each have greatness inside of us waiting to be realized. He is so right! So why don’t we realize our greatness?? Lack of confidence. I often battle the fear of failure, fear of looking stupid, fear of success and fear of not being worthy.  Guess what? They are all derived from a lack of confidence. 

At my ABWA meeting on Monday, our president Lauren, asked this interesting question: “If you knew you could NOT fail, what would you achieve personally and professionally?”  The answers were varied but quite telling. Lack of confidence really holds most all of us back from being totally fulfilled!!!

So why NOT fail…if you believe John Maxwell in “Failing Forward” (a great book by the way), then you know that you fail only when you quit. Isn’t that the same as not attempting anything at all???

So unleash the greatness inside of you. Be a more confident you each and every day!! Really look inside to see what lies beneath the chaos of your life. Not sure how to do that?  Well….you’re like everyone else I have met recently. So you’re not alone!

Details for the 9/25 Women of Confidence Event is on my Events page. The next event is in Phoenix 9/28. So join my Chain of Confidence, share with me your definition of confidence, step out of your own way, stand tall, smile big, link with other confident women and be a more confident you!!
