“Years ago, I was invited to a seminar given by Carl Rogers. I had never read his work, but I knew that the seminar, attended by a group of therapists, was about “unconditional positive regard.” At the time I was highly sceptical about this idea, but I attended the seminar anyway. I left it transformed.

Roger’s theories arose out of his practice and his practice was intuitive and natural to him. In the seminar he tried to analyse what he was doing for us as he did it. He wanted to give a demonstration of unconditional positive regard in a therapeutic session. One of the therapists volunteered to serve as the subject. As Rogers turned to the volunteer and was about to start the session, he suddenly pulled himself up, turned back to us, and said, “I realise there’s something I do before I start a session. I let myself know that I am enough. Not perfect. Perfect wouldn’t be enough. But that I am human and that is enough. There is nothing this man can say or do or feel that I can’t feel in myself. I can be with him. I am enough.”

I was stunned by this. It felt as if some old wound in me, some fear of not being good enough, had come to an end. I knew inside myself that what he had said was absolutely true: I am not perfect, but I am enough.”

For many, the feeling of not being good enough is an all too common experience. These feelings can be incredibly destructive to desires, ambitions and motivations.

What you need to do is find out the things you’re really good at and do lots more of them. What you need to do is find people or things that can effortlessly do what you cannot and model them. What you need to do is DISCOVER yourself.

For businesses it’s often said that people are its greatest assets. Assuming this to be true, how good would it be for you if your key individuals knew how to get the best from themselves in order for them to truly get the best from others?

 For individuals, a lack of self-confidence can sometimes hold you back. The ability to be at peace with yourself is the first and most important step to understanding how you can influence your life in the future. To achieve it, you may even have to influence your past. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to know that your life has order and direction and that you can face the future with an inner confidence that increases your chances of success and well-being?

 “ I just wanted to say thank-you for your support and mentoring over the past couple of years, without which I would not be in the position I am today.

Your facilitation………. has subsequently led me to great success in the roles I have moved onto, and has now presented me with another exciting opportunity to potentially move further within the business. ”

“If you want to be creative in your company, your career, your life, all it takes is one easy step… the extra one. When you encounter a familiar plan, you just ask one question: What ELSE could we do?” -  Dale Dauten
