IT is that time of the year when we share the Christmas cheer, as well as many gifts. I believe passionately in bestowing meaningful gifts that can last a lifetime, more so now in these challenging times.

“A Gift of Confidence” is a concept that I am introducing for the holiday season and I am inviting you to join me on this mission by sponsoring the programme as a gift for the holidays. It is a gift that can transform lives for a better future. I have experienced personally what positive impact confidence can make on one’s life-journey because I know what it is like to have confidence and what it is like to lack confidence. I have found myself on both sides of the spectrum and I can attest to its enriched value.

I am a very confident woman today, but it wasn’t always like this. I was a shy and very introverted young lady who was extremely unsure of herself. I hardly interacted with people because of my low self-esteem, which caused me to doubt myself repeatedly.  I felt invisible in a room and avoided corresponding with people because I was afraid of embarrassing myself.

Looking at me now, it’s very difficult for people to believe that confession because of the woman whom I have become today.  I had to intentionally change my mindset and challenge myself to work on my self-esteem and self-confidence. This intention allowed me to look through a clearer lens and visualise the image of that person I was created to be. I had first to understand the difference between self-esteem and self-confidence and develop a strategy to work on both.

Self-esteem refers to the overall sense of personal assurance which we feel–the self-reliance, the positive self-regard and the self-love we possess. Self-esteem is developed from our responses to the many experiences and the varied situations that have shaped how we view ourselves today.

Self-confidence influences how we feel about our abilities, knowing that we can express ourselves differently with each situation. For instance, I may generally have healthy self-esteem but very low confidence, particularly with situations involving math. So, in the final analysis, I would specifically need to channel my confidence to maintain my composure, in the face of this existing insecurity.

When one loves oneself, one’s self-esteem improves, which makes one more confident. When one is confident in many areas of life, one begins to increase one’s overall sense of esteem. All in all, one can work on both at the same time.The content can work at any stage in our lives and last for years..

“Confidence Becomes You is one of the greatest and most humbling investments  I’ve ever given to myself. Five years later, and the teachings from Ms Noel still allow me to commit to working intentionally on the Best version of who I AM and ultimately what will be. It is important that we work consistently on our development of self by being intentional. This course has been my constant reminder to be intentional in all things, that even on my down days, I am being intentional by remaining authentic and confident in who I am and what I’m capable of.” Candace,Entrepreneur .

I am passionate about this programme because I saw the transformations manifest in many lives (males and females) from age 14 to people in the 60s.
The participants are not only from Guyana and we have had participants from other Caribbean countries: Venezuela Canada and many parts of the United States.

Akisha Henry, who is a designer from St. Vincent, shared her experience: “This programme has helped me tremendously from the simple function of introducing myself properly to the major discovery of realising my true purpose. I have learned a great deal about the attributes that I need to possess to bring out that confidence in me

“The session on purpose was awesome and inspiring and thought-provoking. It made me not only receive the information, but really give it deep consideration. It was, however, at the point of application that I figured out my true purpose and what a tremendous feeling that was.
It is with all this meaningful information and purpose-driven approach now that I will strive to always be intentional in everything I do and to command my thoughts, because it is my thoughts that will set the tone for my day and in general, my life.”

I believe in proactively charting positive outcomes in individuals, and so, over the years I have contributed significantly to many lives through paid and complimentary ‘Confidence Becomes You’ programmes, virtually and in person.

I am on a mission to assist as many people as possible to navigate the road to a confident person, or in some cases, to regain the confidence which was formerly had. This virtual programme is designed to be flexible to adjust to the schedules of potential participants.

My mentor John Maxwell affirms, “Confidence is a characteristic of a positive attitude. The greatest achievers and leaders remain confident regardless of circumstances.”
The human resource is more valuable than all the resources that a country possesses and this is a unique opportunity to contribute to and create a world in which we desire to live.

I am inviting businesses and individuals to join me on this mission to give a gift that can last someone a lifetime, a gift of confidence. We are offering 25 to 40 % discount and it gets better. I would match every programme that is purchased with a complimentary one for someone else. One has the option to recommend a related individual, or we can recommend someone from our database. Contact us at liviningwithintention11@gmail.com

I can’t stress enough how much it is for us to daily work on ourselves. If your self esteem is five and you desire things at level nine, you will not perform above our self-image or the estimated value we have of ourselves.

I encourage you to give some a Gift of Confidence can last someone a life as we continue the celebrate this beautiful journey called Life BEYOND THE RUNWAY.
