Our world needs authentic connectors.
Listeners. Collaborators. Friends.
Safe places. Clarity, Courage, Empathy.
It’s ironic that I struggle sometimes to write about Connecting With Confidence. My confidence seeps away as I read what I write. The more I put my heart into something, the more vulnerable – and valuable – it becomes. You might relate. Maybe it’s connecting through videos for you, or speaking to an audience. We need to get our words out – especially those that create clarity, confidence and compassion. Words that help people in some way. You know, those words. They matter.
It’s a big deal, and we can’t do it alone, or reach everyone, but we can gather with like-minded learners – from diverse backgrounds and experiences – to deepen our knowledge, awareness and confidence to create a positive ripple effect.
When you grow, personally and professionally, you make a bigger difference than you can imagine.
As you may have read “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” A.A.Milne

Connect With Confidence Course outline and Introduction
We take a closer look at ASKING. (The word, and the Acronym) You have to ask/gain and give permission to have a quality conversation. People are often closed off to connecting because their brain is busy!
We don’t know what is going on in another person’s world so we need to give people an opportunity to shift gears in their thinking and refocus. This is the essence of permission – it’s not merely being polite – it’s engaging another person’s brain and giving them a chance to respond.
In the Connect with Confidence course, you will learn techniques for gaining permission and increasing your curiosity – another essential element of connecting.
You’ll also discover many new tools and ways of solution-focused thinking that supports “what next” – once you’ve made the connection – build the relationship.
Awareness
Learn techniques to improve awareness of yourself and others to create meaningful, perhaps life changing exchanges, with strangers and family too.
Start Small… smile and scare yourself a little
Tiny changes make massive differences. Test out little changes and see exciting results. It doesn’t have to be scary!
Keep going with quality questions
Discover what kind of questions open the door to wonderful connections, and choose the kind of conversations you want to be having.
Interest in others
This is not to be underestimated. Feel like you’re not interested? Or too busy to care? You don’t have to fake it – you can develop it. And enjoy it.
Natural confidence (you have more than you think)
You’ll love this one. We’ll help you discover the confident you – the one that is there, but hides away at inconvenient times.
Gratitude
Another extraordinary door-opener. See how simple actions or words of gratitude speak volumes and make a powerful impact. Enjoy the gift of giving.
