Identify a Leadership Issue
Self-confidence would be a challenging issue for me to face at this time. I know that confidence is a state of mind and positive thinking can change my thought pattern, it is not easy to learn about self-confidence it has to be practice. Ultimately I have to be the one to change my thinking. Practicing positive thinking and talking to others who have at one point in their life struggled with self-confidence can help me build self-confidence of my own. I am always second guessing myself if I am doing something the correct way.
In leadership I want to be able to challenge my clients to let them know that they can overcome anything even lack of self-confidence, but I cannot do that if I am lacking self-confidence in …show more content…
Normally hearing feedback from others discourages me, I thought if they are giving me feedback then that must mean that I am a failure. Now I see that feedback is not meant to hurt me but to help me see my mistakes and how to fix it the right way. Finding support in others can help because that way I know that I am not alone or just take time for myself. The reason self-confidence is an issue for me because I am so focused on what I want from the future, that I do not think about the things that I have already accomplished. Lastly, at this time to gain self-confidence I can participate in group activities in class and if I mess up I just have to keep moving on because I cannot get anywhere in life without …show more content…
The task ahead is to focus on self-confidence that is helpful to the group. The way to do that is getting constructive criticism from supervisors or co-workers. Another way to focus on the task in a group therapy setting is to learn from my mistakes, I will not give up after one try. I have a responsibility to provide stability within the therapy group. If I do not focus on the issue of minimal self-confidence it can cripple the group and myself.
I have to first admit to myself that I am only human I am not always going to get everything right. With practice, I can focus on helping group members struggling with self-confidence in their own life. It is okay for me to ask others for help because they know what I am going through, they have been there and overcome not having any self-confidence in the beginning stages of counseling in therapy group settings. The task in a group is to focus on being an example for the group, demonstrating what self-confidence should look like. A major impact is feeling safe sometimes I feel very uneasy because I know am not well prepared and if I am not prepared then the group might feel some kind of uneasiness within the group setting. “Self-confidence isn’t just about what you think or imagine, it’s about action” (Tyrrell,

I can not pass that class.” This little voice, as small as it may be, slowly eats away at your confidence until there is nothing left...unless you learn how to diminish it.…

    Person-Group Work Case

    1 If my teammate suffered from low self-efficacy towards a work task I felt she was able to accomplish there are several techniques I could use to reassure her that she is capable of completing the task. The first technique I would use is boosting her confidence by giving her small tasks that I know she can achieve. Second, I would allow her to shadow me while I perform the task she is unsure of this will help her to become more confident as she watches me complete the steps successfully. Third, I would verbally persuade and encourage her continually letting her know she can do it; everyone enjoys getting praised every now and again. Finally, I would make sure she is in a good mood and does not feel nervous.…

    Frame Work In Group Work

    Gay men may have many trust issues even if they do not have HIV/AIDS, but compound the issues with having an illness that has much stigma and revulsion connected to it by the general public can lead to an individual have very little trust of others. Therefore, it is imperative to create a trusting atmosphere within the frame work of the group. The first thing that I would convey is confidence and a true aspect of caring about the group during pregroup and each subsequent group with emphasis during the first meeting, by going over confidentiality, making it clear that group is a safe place to share, informing the members of their rights and responsibilities (keeping what they heard and who they see in group confidential), and priming members for a positive experience. My goal is to be organized, empathetic, and attentive to the individual and group concerns by actively listening. For example; by modeling unconditional positive regard for the participants and by being free to disclose my personal thoughts and feelings in a genuine…

If you have low confidence, there is often very little you can do to change your thinking about the matter, but you can change your behavior, and then your thinking will follow.

    Rustic Pathways Reflection

    I have struggled with self-confidence in areas that are either unfamiliar or that I struggle in, so learning some tips and tricks to either improve or mask my unsureness would be most helpful. Along with self-confidence, I would also like to improve where, when, and how much focus to put into certain tasks. Being sensitive has led me to fixate my attention on various trivial matters when my focus should be elsewhere. In relation to my sensitive nature, another quality that I want to improve upon is being stoic and impassive when needed. My emotional nature has led to issues in the past.…

    College Admissions Essay: Anyone Who Know Me

    I play soccer. Anyone who knows me, knows this. In high school, I have often been labelled as an athlete only. Some see me as a goofy, arrogant, jock; however, I do not believe a student-athlete who achieves a 3.75 GPA can be defined so narrowly. My identity, interests, and talents are heavily influenced by soccer, but I am much more than a central midfielder.…

    Summative Self Assessment

    Summative Self-Assessment The three goals I chose to work on through the course of the group sessions were to 1) Be willing to accept silence after a conflicting situation, 2) Be willing to voice my thoughts and opinions, without the need for reassurance, and 3) Learn to express my emotions, rather than showing all is well and pleasant, in all situations. I had several opportunities to work on my second and third goals through the course of in class group sessions, but very little opportunity to work on my first goal. Hence, I feel I have made significant progress on my second and third goals, but not my first goal.…

    Gestalt Therapy Research Paper

    After this mock counseling session, I learned that I am good at using therapeutic approaches that several counselors are hesitant in applying to their therapeutic practice. For instance, Gestalt Therapy. Why I believe I am good at this technique is due to being able to read peoples current physical motions, body language, and emotions. In addition to using the Gestalt approach, I learned that I am careful with how I word my questions and the tone of my voice when I ask the question. More importantly, what I learned from this assignment is that the client is going to have a concern or issue they want to discuss and that topic they need help with can benefit from a particular intervention and technique.…
