When you help someone, it is important to provide them with enough information so they can move forward. This doesn’t mean overwhelming them with details, but sharing the key points and useful knowledge they need to progress.
In addition to providing information, it is important to boost the person’s confidence. This can be done by showing how the knowledge they gain can help not only them but also others. When people see that their knowledge and skills can positively impact others, they often feel more motivated and confident. This can be achieved, for example, by encouraging them to give advice to friends, which not only deepens their own understanding but also increases their confidence.
In training sessions and workshops, encouraging mutual advice can be a powerful way to enhance participants' confidence and motivation. By giving participants the opportunity to share their knowledge and help others, they discover their own skills and the value they can offer. This not only aids their own learning process but also fosters a culture of collaboration and support, ultimately leading to a more engaged and confident group of people.
