Coaching Tip #990 "Positive Self-Talk"

People do not respond well or like being talked down to or condemned by the words of another. Given this, it is very important that you do not put yourself down and beat yourself up with your self-talk. If you do, it will only compound any negative self-perception you already have. Instead, be honest in your self-appraisal because there are always aspects of yourself you can improve. Then, use this information to make a decision to improve, take the actions to make it so and support yourself along the way.
