There's nothing in human life that doesn't touch on personal confidence and self esteem. This is my favorite thing to coach, because I've experienced the pain of feeling not good enough too, and I've always been able to help other people see their worth.

Here's my first tip:
1) The 2% solution. What if the most horrible thing someone says to you or you say to yourself is 2% true?

Can you live with 2%?

Let's say 2% of you is a failure. What is that 2%? Is it really so bad?

How about 2% of you is a fraud? Big deal.

2% of you is selfish. Well I should hope so! How could you survive otherwise?

Get the picture?

The more we try to suppress and hide the parts of us we don't like, the more those parts rule our lives. We fight the flow of our magnificence and deny ourselves what's valuable to us.

A client was in conflict with her husband because she was earning more money than he was. They both felt angry and defensive. She felt like a shrew. He felt like a loser.

She agreed to try the 2% game. Any criticism he gave her she'd take in and look for the 2% truth. He felt heard and appreciated, and he tried on the 2% too.

When they didn't have to defend themselves, they were free to love the other. Interestingly, within two months her husband made more than double the income for the whole year.
