The Loop of Confidence

The Clueless About Self-Confidence Provide Advice

Ann Bernard — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:12:30 +0000

I come across more bad advice and articles on what to do to develop self-confidence and on what self-confidence is than good and worthwhile ones (I am definitely fighting an uphill battle teaching people about the importance of self-confidence and how to actually develop it). For the most part, I don’t leave comments or mention [...]

Stop Feeling Confident. Be Confident.

Ann Bernard — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:16:18 +0000

Want to know the biggest and first sign to figuring out if you have a confidence issue – you say things like “I feel confident today”, “this outfit makes me feel confident”, or “a good hair day gives me confidence”. Confident people don’t wonder about whether or not they feel confident because they simply ARE [...]

Don’t Fake It Till You Make It

Ann Bernard — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:57:39 +0000

Almost a year ago I wrote a post called ”Fake it Till you Make It Leads to Self-Doubt Not Confidence” – I’ve decided to re-address this concept/mindset/saying with a video because unfortunately I still come across people living by this concept and encouraging others to do the same. Faking it till you make [...]

Ann Bernard — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:31:20 +0000

For the last few months I have been working on a new workshop for parents of pre-teens (more specifically 6-12 years old) called the 5 Keys to Raising Confident Children – I’m really excited to start offering it to parents around the New Orleans area in person and via webinar to those [...]

Partnership with My Fear Zapper

admin — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:14:40 +0000

I’m really happy to announce that The Loop of Confidence is partnering up with My Fear Zapper to promote development of self-confidence in children.

As many of you know, the moment that changed my life and got me on a path of self-confidence development is when I was 8 years old and [...]

Testing Your Self-Confidence

Ann Bernard — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:26:05 +0000

Imagine you are at work and your boss brings together all the employees together because he or she has an announcement to make. Before your boss utters a word…pretty much everyone will start speculating about what this meeting is all about. Some will think something positive is about to happen, while most people will think [...]

Your Circumstances Are Not Your Potential

Ann Bernard — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:00:47 +0000

If I looked at all my failures and the “sucky” lack of progress I experience most times – I would not be doing what I’m doing or ever have achieved what I’ve achieved so far in my life. My circumstances never mattered much to me, what’s always mattered to me is my potential. I [...]

Excuses Expose Your Lack of Self-Confidence

Ann Bernard — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:45:22 +0000

Like many, I’m not a fan of, and I have little patience for, excuses. A person who is full of excuses or always ready to give an excuse is clearly someone in my opinion who lacks self-confidence. Confident people don’t make excuses – they take on the responsibility and hold themselves accountable.

So, what are [...]

Self-Confidence to be Yourself

Ann Bernard — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:14:54 +0000

One of the most visited/read of my blog posts is the post called: Stop Thinking About What Other People Are Thinking. I open the post by saying that if you worry about what other people think of you…it’s a sure sign you lack self-confidence. The post goes on to give people things to consider [...]
