Best Performance with Techniques for Enhancing Self Esteem

Filed under: Action Steps

Posted on June 24th, 2008 in Leading By Example, Responsiveness, Uncategorized by speedreading Tagged performance, relaxation, self esteem

Our overall performance is based on how we perceive ourselves. If we have low self-esteem, it often hinders us from succeeding in life. We may achieve some of our tasks, but often we fail to set goals that back plans to our success.

Our success, performance to handle daily tasks, and making good decisions depend on our attitude. If we are tired, stressed, worried, in pain or any other negative feelings, our daily performance and long term as well will not be that great.

When we use techniques for enhancing our self-esteem, we will feel good when waking up in the morning to face any challenges that may come our way. When we have good self-esteem, we make better decisions, which encourage others to want to be around us. When we have self-esteem, our confident reaches its peak and we will feel better about our day as we solve different problems that might come our way.

We have many options to build our self-esteem, confidence, etc. Each strategy will give us more energy, and relieve pain as well. Build up your personal health and performance as we build up our self-esteem. Some of the best techniques you can use to enhance self-esteem include writing. Setting goals is another technique to use to enhance self-esteem.

How writing a journey and setting goals help you:
Writing a journal will enhance our self-esteem, confidence and relieve pain that is caused by stress. Journal writing will let you blow off how you feel without anyone knowing your privacy. You can talk to yourself on paper and reread it as you go along to see how well your writing will change as you begin to feel better about your success in building up self-esteem.

Goals help to give up a better performance by building up self-esteem. They need to be in writing along with how you can reach your goals as each day passes you by. Goals give you a reason to work on how you feel in order to accomplish them to be successful.

You can relieve pain with goals by relieve some of the stressful things that are going on with your life. Stress causes pain and relieving the stress will help you perform better in making your decisions to building up your self-esteem.

Exercise can help us perform better by relieving stress that causes pain. We will be able to make better decision by exercising and giving us a time out time for you. We will be able to sleep better at night to perform by enhancing our self-esteem with better decision-making skills.

Positive thing will help us in our performance for the future to success. Positive thinking helps us to forget the negative things that tell us we cannot do something. With positive thinking if we make a mistake do it again only with a positive attitude that you can do it right once you learn what way to perform the best.

Our self-esteem plays a lot in the role of controlling our lives. Without self-esteem is it, harder to perform like we want to. We need to unleash our mind power to make changes to build up the self-esteem in our lives.

It takes a lot of skill and practice to changes our ways of doing things but by thinking positive, we can and will do the best performance ever. Practice keeps us fit and healthy, especially when we practice to enhance our self-esteem.

Start today to make the changes to be a happier person. Build up your performance by building up your self-esteem to a better, healthier, and happier future for success.

3 tips for raising people’s sights to show what is possible

Filed under: Success Stories

Post date: Saturday June 21, 2008 Category: Mike’s Blog, Sharing knowledge

“The key is to have high expectations of people,” said one of my teachers. “This rule applies whether you are working with delinquents, footballers, peak performers or whatever. But one point is vital. The key is to focus on the person’s strengths – the ‘elite’ 20% part of them – rather than the other parts. It is then important: 1) To raise people’s sights and show what is possible: 2) To help them to believe it is possible: 3) To enable them to make it possible.”

During the past 40 years I have practiced this approach in many different scenarios – and it works. When running a therapeutic community, for example, I expected the young people to visit universities and lecture about ‘how to help troubled young people’. They did – and got lots of plaudits. There are many other situations where this approach works. So let’s explore how you can follow these steps in your own way.

1) You can raise people’s sights to show what is possible.

Can you think of a situation where you want to communicate high expectations to people? You may be running a counselling session, teaching a class, leading a team or whatever. Your expectations must, of course, be based on what you believe people can achieve – providing they work hard.

Sometimes this means communicating the guidelines ahead of time. For example, I explain to potential clients that I only work with people who are: a) positive; b) professional; b) prepared to work hard to be peak performers. This approach is positive but tough. People invariably respond well – but there have been occasions when it has been necessary to draw the line. If people lapse into game-playing, for instance, I suggest they would be better suited finding another person to work with them. Everybody can falter – but it is vital to focus on people’s strengths – what they can achieve – and have high expectations.

Great leaders tap into this vein all the time. They say things like: “I have a dream … We shall overcome … We are going to put a man on the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” They show what is possible. How can you do this in your own way? Start by thinking of a situation where you want to raise people’s sights. Bearing in mind their strengths, what do you think they can achieve? Try completing the following sentences.

The specific situation in which I want to raise people’s
sights and show what it is possible to achieve is:

*

The specific goal I want to encourage them
to believe it is possible to achieve is:

*

2) You can help people to believe it is possible.

The belief must be based on reality – so how can you help people to believe it is possible to reach the goal?

a) You can encourage people to build on their strengths.

Everybody has talents. It is simply a question of spotting them – even if they only show these for a moment. You can look for when people ‘come alive’. When are they in their element – at ease and yet able to excel? What are the activities in which they deliver ‘As’, rather than ‘Bs’ or ‘Cs’? When do they take responsibility? What do they have a good track record of finishing? If they are experiencing a crisis, when have they overcome setbacks in the past? What did they do right then? How can they tap into this inner strength? How can they follow these principles to overcome setbacks both now and in the future?

b) You can encourage people to ‘control the controllables’.

Imagine you are leading a team. You can encourage people to do three things. First, to clarify what they can control – such as their attitude, professionalism, the way they communicate, etc. Second, to clarify what they can’t control – such as the market - though they can still do their best to influence it. Third, to clarify how they can build on what they can control and manage what they can’t. Positive people focus on what they can control – and build on it; negative people focus on what they can’t control – and complain about it.

c) You can encourage people to get an early success.

There are many different ways to get some early wins. Here is one example. During the 1980s I was the youth development officer for a football club in Sweden. We aimed to move the youth team’s ranking from number 120 to the top 30. After surveying the talent, I quickly got in five new players. The next step was to arrange an indoors tournament during the winter pre-season. We invited 3 teams from the Swedish top division, plus 4 other teams. (The big clubs accepted because we had a fine indoors pitch.) The tournament draw was arranged so that, providing our team played well, we would reach the semi-finals and pick up a medal. That is what happened. For the first time our players were on the same pitch as youngsters from the top Swedish clubs and also won enough matches to get medals. The club’s board were impressed and gave us money to buy more players.

It is vital to engender belief – whether you are working with individuals, a team or a company. But this must be based on reality. One approach is to build on their strengths, control the controllables and get an early success. Let’s return to the specific situation in which you want to raise people’s sights. Try completing the following sentence.

The specific things I can do to encourage people
to believe it is possible to reach the goal are:

*

3) You can enable people to make it possible.

People must now do the hard work. From your side, this is where your skills as an educator will come to the fore. Providing you have laid the groundwork properly, you will have equipped them: a) to build on the right strengths; b) to set the right specific goal and strategy; c) to develop the right skills to achieve success. This does not mean your work is over. You may will provide ongoing encouragement, coaching and other support. Ultimately, however, it was not Gandhi who gained Indian Independence; Martin Luther King who won civil rights; John F. Kennedy who landed on the moon. Such leaders may have shown what was possible – but it was the people who did the work. Great coaches can play their part, however, by encouraging, educating and enabling individuals and teams to achieve success. How can you do this in your own way? Let’s return to the specific situation in which you want to raise people’s sights. Try completing the following sentence.

The specific things I can do to encourage,
educate & enable people to reach the goal are:

*

During the 1960s and 70s much of my work was based on ‘expectation theory’. I expected the teenagers in the therapeutic community to be able to ‘lecture’ students and teachers at university. Moving to Sweden, I ran 5 day workshops on ‘personal strengths building’. People came along expecting to develop their talents. Invited to work in Swedish schools with 14 year-old ‘troublesome’ kids, I expected them to understand English and build on their strengths. Perhaps this was unreasonable but, strangely, it seemed to work. They rose to the challenge. Nowadays I work with peak performers. The expectation is clear: to build on their strengths and build super teams. Fortunately they seem to respond.

Everybody has talents. The key is to focus on the best part of the person or the team - and to communicate high expectations. Providing people are building from a basis of belief, they love to stretch themselves. You can then enable them to achieve ongoing success.

What is Your Biggest Challenge with Positive Thinking or Personal Success?

Filed under: Positive Attitude

Here is a question I ask because without knowing our challenges, it is very difficult for us to overcome them. So, I ask what is your biggest challenge with Positive Thinking and/or Personal Success. If you leave a comment below, I can share more insights on what things you could do.

For me, my biggest challenge is staying positive when I am around very negative people. This is something I deal with daily. Many of the employees at my company are not happy and they let everyone know about it. Negative forces are very hard to beat, especially if many people are feeling the same way.

Has anyone experienced this and been successful dealing with it? What did you do?

Until next time. Success IS All in Your Mind!

The Power of Pain

Filed under: Action Steps

By JULIAN A LEICESTER

This is the third in a series of seven articles on creating the will to stop smoking. This week, we look at the role of pain in quitting smoking.

WHEN I meet a client who wants to quit smoking, I always ask why he/she wants to quit.

Usually, their answers vary over a wide variety of reasons.

That’s not important here to discuss because it is just their statement to quit.

I normally ask them the next question, which always sets them on panic mode – what is the price they are willing to pay to quit?

Their minds would be racing, and they would be thinking in terms of ringgit and sens – my fees. Will it be too high?

I ask them again, calmly: “What price are you willing to pay to grow?”

Even as little children, we have always been trained to approach pain and struggles as negative.

But pain is an important positive factor for success. Have you heard of the saying “No pain, no gain”?

You must understand that pain is just a label that you have learnt previously and associated it with unpleasantness. When you are relaxed, it is gone.

Step three: The power of pain – the fertiliser to successful cessation of smoking

There are many components that create pain.

With reference to quitting the habit of smoking, the “pain” can be that you would feel the effects of quitting on your current lifestyle habits. It can also result because of fear.

“What would life be without my lover, the cigarette?” said a smoker to me.

Yes! To quit smoking is like handling a break-up.

You need to decide whether your cigarette, while giving you benefits and pleasure emotionally in situations like loneliness, boredom, inspiration or loving support, is silently hurting you inside and in the long run is going to ruin you.

To read the entire article click here:

I believe this can be applied to Personal Success. What are your thoughts on this?

Until next time. Success IS All in Your Mind!
