Building Self-Confidence
Do you ever feel like you don’t have any confidence in yourself or in the things you do on a day to day basis? Do you ever feel like you aren’t good enough? Unfortunately, a lot of people struggle with self-confidence. We beat ourselves up if we forget to do something or if we make even the slightest mistake. This Learning Lesson will help you brainstorm with participants to help build self-confidence.
Our free Luma Learning Lessons include objectives, estimated time, materials and instructional procedures for classroom and online/blended teaching. We will provide strategies on how to use our new LumaLive technology to collaborate virtually in real-time. We include these pillars from our learning research to illustrate where they are infused in our lessons.

- Meet up in webinar technology, like LumaLive.
- Share your screen and have the Self Confidence Slides, slide 2 showing.
- Ask the class, what is self confidence? Have them brainstorm ideas and you can write their ideas.
- Have each individual come up with a personal definition of self confidence.
- After giving the time to come up with their definitions, show slide 3. Discuss how their definitions were similar or different than the definition you showed.
- Ask them, “Why does self-confidence even matter?”
- Tell them that even if they feel self-confident, there may be a sibling, friend, child, co-worker, etc that may struggle with self-confidence. Challenge them to build a tip sheet for them. Send the Building Self-Confidence Worksheet out through email and have them brainstorms tips individually or fill it in together. Feel free to use the Building Self-Confidence Ideas Sheet for ideas if participants struggle.
(or not at the same time)
- Send out the Changes to the Building Self-Confidence eNugget®.
- In the discussion board post the following:
Do you struggle or know someone who struggles with self-confidence?
Why do you think people struggle with it?
Even if you feel self-confident, there may be a sibling, friend, child, co-worker, etc that may struggle with self-confidence. Build a tip sheet and share it in the discussion board. Feel free to use this template for your ideas: Building Self-Confidence Worksheet.
