Stop Being Confident #1
Confidence increases risk taking
Gamblers fall into this category all the time. On a particular night, lady luck is sitting on your side of the card table. You can’t lose! Each time you place a bet you win. The lucky streak increases your confidence, so you bet bigger and take more risk.
At one point in the night, after a few big wins, you take a big risk and go “all-in” knowing that lady luck is there with you. As the cards turn over you realize your mistake, you bet with your confident emotions not your logical brain. If you analysed that cards you would have know that the odds were against you and you would have bet safely
Being to confident isn’t a good trait. When your overconfident you don’t listen to other peoples advice, you not logical way up the situation and you take all or nothing risk
Stop Being Confident #2
Confident people only take action when they feel confident
Lets first kill the myth that you are either confident or anxious. This simply isn’t true, you can be confident in one area of your life and fearful in another. One day you feel on top of the world, full of confidence and the next you feel unfulfilled and anxious.
Even the people you think are “always” confident aren’t. In the “evolve the mind” I talk about how emotions flow, you have ups and downs, good days and bad.
People who feel confident most of the time take action. This action often increase the level in confidence. But the problem here is when the confident person is having a bad day, they act in the opposite way to how they act when they are confident
This lack of confidence, creates a lack of action, which decreases the confidence level, creating a negative cycle which can be hard to break. People who don’t feel high levels of confidence have already learnt to take action when they don’t feel really confident. There norm state is enough to create movement.
Stop Being Confident #3
Confidence can block progression
As a coach I am constantly learning news ways to support my clients to overcome fears and phobias and to help them evolve their mind.
I sometimes meet other coaches that I haven’t seen for a long time, coaches that I use to talk to at training events. When I ask where they have been for the past few years, they tell me that they have learnt all they need to know.
This confidence in their skill level has a detrimental effect as often the coach is using outdated techniques that take twice as long to have an effect on clients compared to fast therapy techniques that are having a massive impact on clients
To evolve you have to develop, always be willing to learn,
