Description
Few things are outside of our reach if we have the confidence to pursue them. Building your confidence helps you to recognise obstacles that are holding you back and look at finding ways to work with or around them so that you are ready for tackling life's experiences.
Who is this course for?
Anyone that is struggling to recognise and demonstrate their self confidence either at home, in their professional or social setting and is ready for things to change.
How will I learn?
You will learn informally in a virtual classroom. This course will be delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams so you will be part of a live class, with a tutor, but will be supported to progress at your own pace.
There are no exams or formal assessments.
What will I need?
You will need access to Microsoft Teams so that you can enter the virtual classroom. You will receive an email with instructions on how to do this prior to the start of the course. You may want to make notes so have a notebook and pen ready.
The course will cover:
• Definitions of confidence
• How changes in our circumstances affect our confidence, our ability to move forwards and how to overcome
• Building self-awareness and self-trust
• How to identify your strengths
• Building resourcefulness
• How to set realistic goals that are supported by effective action plans
You will be able to talk to your tutor about further courses that may be suitable for you including Careers Workshops, Be More Assertive, Volunteer Passport, Exploring Counselling Skills, Working in Customer Service and more.
