Confidence Coaching in a Nutshell

Build the Self Confidence You Want and Need!

Do you ever feel like you are not good enough? Do you put yourself down? Are there any things you would like to do, but you are unsure if you’re confident enough to do it? If you can answer at least one of these questions with a yes, then you might need to grow and improve your self-esteem and confidence.

A coach is somebody that can guide you and become your mentor on the path to achieving certainty in everything that you do. Lack of confidence can hold you back on a personal level, slow down the growth of your business, make you procrastinate on a career change, and cause you to feel insecure.

Looking for a lasting relationship or trying to finally get that promotion is not an easy task when you are unsure of your worth. If your life is filled with doubt and worry, you must feel anxious relatively often. However, you should know that confidence is something that you can build and suppress those negative feelings associated with self-doubt. All you have to do is to ask a confidence coach to help you get your groove back.

The #1 Secret to Building Unshakeable Confidence

High self confidence is one of the most enviable traits a person can have. It shows a sense of courage and self belief, and some people make it look as easy as breathing. It’s true that some of us have to work harder to feel confident than others. But confidence is a teachable, learnable skill — and the secret to building unshakeable confidence is so easy that most people overlook it entirely.

Want to know what it is?

I admit it sounds surprising and overly simple when you say it out loud. But after 27,000+ hours of coaching others on self-confidence, I can verify it’s the only common denominator between successful students of my coaching program that gets results.

It’s choosing to improve your self-confidence.

Success Stories

Real Clients. Real Success. Real Results.
From feeling stuck to landing his dream job, entering a happy relationship, and transforming his entire life—this is Egis’s story:

“Within the first couple months of coaching, I achieved several incredible outcomes. I found an amazing, well-paid job—far beyond what I had expected—all with Jake’s support. I also entered a happy relationship, moved into the flat I had always dreamed of, started travelling the world, and gained a deeper understanding of myself. The journey has been truly transformative.”

We all have limiting beliefs that can hold us back from achieving what we want. Many of us have experienced imposter syndrome that makes us feel like our achievements aren’t much to celebrate (even celebrities and highly accomplished professionals feel this way sometimes). And we’ve all made small mistakes that feel like huge blunders, which can cause us to lack confidence in the future.

But what separates those with high self esteem from those who are constantly second guessing themselves is the choice to invest in confidence building.

Confidence coaching helps you feel confidence by overcoming limiting beliefs and giving you the tools you need to stay positive. It targets the root causes that make you lack confidence, the things that make you experience anxiety, and the negative thoughts that keep you up at night.

A good coaching program can not only help you build lasting confidence but also live a more fulfilling life. Because you deserve it!

Do You Need Confidence Coaching?

Confidence coaching might seem like a service dedicated only to people that are either miserable or burnt out, but it can help a broader range of people than that. If you are experiencing any problems with your self esteem & self confidence, a coach is there to accelerate your recovery and enable you to restore or build the confidence you need in life to succeed.

Let’s take a closer look at the most common confidence concerns that you might experience:

Social Discomfort

Many clients come to me expressing unease in social settings. Whether it’s a networking event or a casual gathering, the feeling of not fitting in or being unable to engage can be overwhelming. Through confidence coaching, we work on techniques to ease this discomfort, helping you to overcome social situations with greater ease and self-assurance.

Public Speaking

It’s not uncommon to find the prospect of speaking in front of a crowd daunting. The fear of judgment or making a mistake can be paralysing. In our sessions, we’ll focus on building your confidence, improving your presentation skills, and turning public speaking from a source of anxiety into one of strength.

Problems with Assertiveness

A common hurdle is the inability to assert oneself, be it in personal relationships or the workplace. This often stems from a lack of self-belief. Together, we’ll develop strategies to help you voice your opinions and needs confidently, ensuring you’re heard and respected.

Enhancing Communication Skills

Effective communication is pivotal for success in both personal and professional life. Many clients struggle with how to communicate effectively with partners, clients, employees, and family members. In our coaching sessions, we’ll focus on developing clear communication techniques that enhance your interactions across all areas of life. Whether it’s negotiating with a client, expressing needs within a relationship, or conveying ideas to your team, we’ll work on refining your communication skills to improve understanding, cooperation, and outcomes.

Navigating Difficult Conversations

It’s inevitable to encounter challenging discussions, whether with family, friends, or colleagues. These situations can be a significant source of stress and anxiety, especially when it involves critical feedback, disagreements, or expressing uncomfortable truths. We’ll practice techniques for approaching these conversations with empathy, clarity, and assertiveness, ensuring you can handle difficult discussions with grace and confidence, leading to healthier and more constructive outcomes.

Limited Self-Expression

Feeling unable to express your true self can be a significant barrier to happiness. Whether it’s fear of judgment or not knowing how to articulate your thoughts, confidence coaching can be transformative. We’ll work on unlocking your authentic self and embracing your individuality.

Expressing Your Needs in a Relationship

Communicating needs and expectations in a relationship can be challenging. This can lead to dissatisfaction and misunderstandings. In our sessions, we’ll explore ways to express yourself clearly and confidently, fostering healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Difficulty with Achieving Goals

Sometimes, a lack of confidence can hinder your ability to reach your goals. Whether it’s career aspirations or personal objectives, a lack of self-worth can be a significant roadblock. We’ll tackle these issues head-on, setting realistic, achievable goals, working on time management skills & techniques, and building the confidence needed to achieve them.

The Benefits Confidence Coaching Can Bring To Your Life

Do you want to create a life where you are the one setting the terms and establishing a sense of control over your environment? Then confidence coaching is an investment worth considering, as without certainty, courage and determination, it is difficult to achieve anything of meaning in life. Here are some of the benefits that the UK’s top confidence coach can add to your life:

  • Learn how to bring out the best of you.
  • Eliminate the barriers that are stopping you from doing what you really want.
  • Implement small strategies you can use to boost your confidence and tackle inevitable challenges in life.
  • Discover how to remove limiting beliefs or habits which hold you back.
  • Get to know how you can become free to be who you want to be.

My coaching programme might not be for you…

I’ll be upfront: confidence coaching isn’t an easy path to success. You’re likely here because you have a strong inner critic, and you’ll have to confront that critic time and time again during this process. That’s hard to do because you have to be real and honest with yourself.

If you:

  • Aren’t willing to do the work.
  • Don’t have time to prioritise yourself.
  • Are happy with low self belief & self confidence.
  • Do not have any idea what it is that you really want in life and what is your Vision.
  • Don’t want to achieve goals in your professional or personal life.

Easy Tips to Start Building Self-Confidence Today

I’ve developed my confidence coaching program not to give you a quick fix but rather to develop a foundation for life. There are many things you can do to start feeling better and believing in yourself. Some of the activities I cover in my coaching sessions include:

Practice Active Listening

Confidence comes from within, and oftentimes, you can feel at ease in situations simply by listening to what’s going on around you. Active listening helps you become in tune with others so you can respond accordingly. It also makes you look like the most interesting person in the room because you’re showing you care about others, which is a quality people gravitate towards.

Set Clear Goals

Turn mega mountains into smaller, easier-to-climb tasks. There’s power in taking baby steps, and clear goals will help you feel less overwhelmed and more likely to succeed. There are many ways you can do this, such as creating weekly plans, keeping to-do lists, delegating tasks, and tracking your progress.

Identify Strengths and Weaknesses

We’re all good as something. And we all have things that challenge us. Coming face-to-face with strengths and weaknesses gives us a way to accept certain things about ourselves. We should be honest about the things we don’t excel at and not oversell the things we’re good at. This helps us avoid holding ourselves to impossible standards, which can help us feel better about our accomplishments.

Cultivate a Positive Mindset

Replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations. There’s psychology to support the power of positive words and thoughts. It makes us more likely to love ourselves and appreciate those around us. It gives our mental health a boost and can help reduce social anxiety or feelings of failure.

Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone

Challenge yourself to try new things regularly. It might seem scary at first, but trying new things gets easier the more often you do it. You can start small, such as trying a new food or restaurant, then grow from there. Progress is progress, no matter how small. Remember there’s no timeline, so go at your own pace.

Make Self Compassion Part of Your Daily Routine

Take time to reflect on past successes each day. Practice gratitude to remind yourself of all the reasons you have to feel confident.

These are just a few of the exercises we cover, and they’re bespoke to each student. More important than the actions themselves are the ways in which we connect them to your self confidence.

You can do these things at home on your own without a professional coach. But for those who also need accountability, clarity, and the insights to develop these techniques and give them staying power, a coaching session might be right for you.

If you feel ready to quit feeling held back by a lack of confidence, take the first step to boost your self-esteem and reach out to a confidence coach. I will be more than happy to guide you and help you develop faith in yourself.

My Clients Say

Before my coaching sessions with Jake, I was in a terrible position. My relationship was in a bad state, my feelings and sense of self-worth were very low, and I was barely able to stay emotionally stable. I hated my job and my whole life. However, since working with Jake, I’ve become much stronger, my self-belief went through the roof, and I know how valuable I am. I have found a company I love to work for, and my relationships with others are much more profound and exciting.

Tina Patel – Lawyer

Jake is a fantastic coach who gets to the core of the issues excellently. He helped me to take drastic steps (they were needed!), which brought me a massive shift in my business and my family life. Now, I work less, earn double that I used to and have more time for my kids. What I like about Jake is that he can be straightforward if needed and when necessary. He is not afraid to ask the difficult (fundamental) questions when the situation calls for them. An outstanding return on investment! Thank you, Jake. See you again soon.

Peter Barnes – Entrepreneur

When I started coaching with Jake, I was in the darkest depths of my relationship, my business, and my entire life. I was a walking shadow, and I couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel… However, Jake helped me to turn everything around and put me on the right tracks. His coaching helped me to change how I can see the world. The impact it has had on my business and personal life is priceless. His business ideas are so easy to implement and at the same time very powerful!

Ben C. – Business owner

Jake’s work as a coach has had tremendously positive feedback on my life. I feel like a different person. Working with Jake has helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the essential ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in the last five years. I am a different person now compared to when I initially started my coaching sessions with Jake.

Neil Coker – Founder and CEO

The only thing I can say is a “huge thank you, Jake”! I already had the right tools in place to create a good income. However, Jake added a few missing puzzles to my plan and helped me accelerate my income tremendously in just a few weeks. He could see what I was missing and helped me to make the right decisions and changes. It wasn’t always easy, but it was worth it.

Denise Green – Peak Performance Coach

Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn’t brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did.

Jake offers an excellent service. It is incomplex and at the same time full of wisdom. He was able, in a straightforward way, to help me find my inner truth. At the same time, he inspires, not only through his fantastic support, faith, and confidence but also with his contagious vibrancy and beautiful personality. My self-belief and determination have soared. I can honestly say since coaching with Jake, my life has never been lovely. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your life coach!

Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open minded. I thought I knew a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can not ever stop learning and getting better. Jake is very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced and I’m truly grateful for the support he gave us to work through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a life coach.

Steven P. – COO of a large corporation

Working with Jake gave me tremendous confidence and motivation. He is an excellent coach, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for one. He took me from talented but with a lack of confidence and self-belief to a bold athlete. He has taught me to dream big dreams, aim to the top and to be the best. Now I am interested only in the 1st place – second place is the first place among the last ones.

Shaun T. – Athlete

Getting a coach was one of my best decisions in life! If you are hesitating, please STOP! In my case in a few short months, I went from procrastinating and agonising over taking my next step, to putting myself out there and succeeding! It was an amazing and profound experience. Jake is intuitive and positive. And most importantly, he doesn’t waste time. His style is an excellent balance of “let’s get things done” and also creative and exploratory. He seems to know when to focus on the concrete goals and when to explore our motivations and feelings.

Matt – Investor

Jake coached and mentored me through the first phases of my internet company. He is a very talented, knowledgeable and experienced businessman. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his incredible help. Jake helped me a lot by merely believing in me and my business. My confidence soared through the roof from the very first chat with this brilliant man. He helped me set up my own online fashion business, and it is running very successfully now. Thank you for your impressive help. Keep doing what you are doing!
