ONLY A FEW WORDS

ENCOURAGING CAN DO MORE

What does it take to help a person move to better performance, or to change a behavior? In a lot of cases it doesn't take as much as you may at first think.

BUT FIRST!LOVE TO LEARN

There are a number of people who love to learn, who would love to find out how to do something but have never had the guidance and, therefore, have little or no confidence to try and do it on their own. 

I had the opportunity over the years to help and to encourage a wide number of people including a lot of my friends in college as well as those who were caught in the Institute justice system on the wrong side of the fence.

Recently, though, I have been able to help a young man become confident in a different way. 

One of my hobbies, over the years, is to help people and Inspire a big number of people all over the world. I trained my self and acquired different disciplines for what I wanted to be. Some of these have been those belonging to friend and family, and some have been my own since I have moved quite frequently. 

With these skills, I have had a wonderful time always enjoying working with people in the fields of my expertise and able to see and use the results of my efforts.

BUILDING CONFIDENCE

Confidence is the Assurance or two-thirds of success and Who ever does not respect confidence will never find happiness in their path.

In fact, from my previous experiences building up someone's confidence, was a cakewalk - in other words, a very easy project to take on. 

However, to many people I teach, it appeared to be a huge mountain that they had been asked to climb without the aid of hiking or climbing boots (Including the Young man I mentioned above). 

The truth is that he had never been taught to do much of anything around his home because his parents had never done more than normal to build up his confidence. So, he happen to be unable to even decide how to start the most basic of building his Confidence! 

So, I firstly asked to help him (Our very first talk made me ask him to help him). At first, I didn't really know if he knew anything but not wanting to demean him or insult him, I choose to tackle a project and simply asked him to assist me by doing what I wanted him to do for the sake of becoming what he wanted to be. It didn't take long to find out what he didn't know and What can be the best starting point to help him. 

So, I proceeded to describe what I was planned for his betterment, why he would do it, and the selection of words and process that he would need before he began. Note this from me now! Avery person is a fast learner, eager to understand and learn whatever they can! It depends on how the teacher is perceiving the learner!. 

I immediately noticed a hesitation to do anything I gave him to do even though I started off by doing it myself so he could visually see what the technique or how the tool/language was used properly. 

As he started to engage in the point of mastering the confidence, I calmly mentioned how to correct what he was doing wrong and kept it low keyed and friendly. It was truly amazing to see him respond - less hesitation and with greater confidence. 

Over the next few months, we tackled project (public speaking project) after project with more and more use of techniques with more and more encouragement, and with giving him the lead and me acting as their helper... HE MADE IT!

Now! What does it take to teach someone to do or to be the kind of a person they want to be?

ENCOURAGING CAN DO MORE

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

All it takes is a few words of encouragement - no criticism, only helpful redirection or suggestions. It never takes much if you really care about people, their feelings and armed with the knowledge that we all started somewhere - we were never born masters of anything.
