As a coach, you must already be familiar with affirmations.

Repeat something enough times and your brain will make it true for you.

If you don’t feel confident as a coach, say out loud “I’m an amazing coach!” and it will become your reality.

Has that been true for you?

Sadly, affirmations don’t work for everyone all the time.

I intend to use this space to discuss a few practical ways of building grounded confidence.

The Journey of Mastery

When we start learning something new… we don’t know what we don’t know.

We start as unconsciously incompetent.

Competence (noun): the ability to do something successfully or efficiently.

As we continue learning skills with focus and dedication, we become consciously incompetent.

We get to know a lot of gaps in our skills and the scope for improvement.

As we continue working and learning the skills, we become consciously competent — completely aware of all the competence and skills we have learned so far.

The ultimate mastery — is when someone doesn’t have to make conscious efforts to perform their skills.
