Ten tips to have more confidence starting with the eyes!

During the seminar, Ten tips to have more confidence starting with the eyes, many topics will be covered.

We spend a lot of time trying to make improvements to our experience of life. I have found that the body leaves clues. With are eyes we make known our wants and desires. With our mouth we smile to invite engagement with the world and frown to repel it. The word we use to praise another are valuable.

Whilst we spend time looking within we also have the look at the wider world. This is not an exercise to compare ourselves with others but to achieve our hopes and dreams.

I enclose a quick list:-

  1. Eyes
  2. smile
  3. Thank you
  4. Listening
  5. Planning
  6. Real you
  7. Stand tall
  8. Sensuality (v) Sexuality
  9. Lady(v) Woman
  10. Hindsight

That's My Name

When I named my first son, Jordan Alexander, I was thinking about the River Jordan. Strong, powerful, significant and biblical. When he was about 5 years old he asked me why didn't I name him "Andrew."



Names carry connotation or feelings. Some names carry images of pleasure for you such as your sweetheart or "pop idol." Other carry images of pain, such as the "school bully." If you don't like your name you have learned to associate negative images with it.



The first step in boosting your confidence is to appreciate your name.



How do you do that?



Seven tips to take pride in your name


  1. Write your name down at every opportunity.

  2. Buy a mug or coffee cup with your name on it. If you name is usual have one custom made.

  3. When you look at yourself in the mirror, smile. You would acknowledge an aquientance in the street.

  4. Look for other people who have the same name as you and notice the differences between you.

  5. Write down names that you like and make a note.

  6. Be aware of the names that you don't like and make a mental note.

  7. Remember in the end all you have is "your name."
