Overcome self-doubt & fear
In my training sessions, I've seen it over & over again. It does not matter how "tough" ones (male or female) look, there is a corner of his/her being that is hidding in a grey area with a sky-reaching fence and a blazing warning sign:- "dare you enter!".
That is self-doubt & fear.
It may be physical or spiritual or just plan imaginery.
Regardless, in many occasions, I've managed to help these individuals to over the self-doubt & fear. The tools I used are actually quite simple:
- through self assessments to understand the nature of the self-doubts & fear
- gradually build up confidence in the individuals
- building capability
- getting group dynamics help the individuals
A very typical example. In a outdoor team building event, a seeminly healthy young lady just couldn't get herself to try out the flying fox (by the way, despite what some purists think, team building event is wonderful training event to build teamworks). To cut the story short, after a series of exercises, and getting supports from the whole team, we managed to push & convince the lady into getting into the gears, climbing up the platform, getting hook into the fyling fox line, and woosh, off she went. And amazingly, afterwards, she wanted to go for the second round! Self-doubt and fear totally overcome.
Archieving greatness has not been trademarked by anyone. Everyone is entitled to do that. Just believe in yourself.
