SELF-EFFICACY BY S U E L E B R ATO
What is the difference between someone who is successful and someone who is not? Certainly the skills necessary to do the work are required. Noted psychologist Albert Bandura, defined “Self-Efficacy”, as the belief in oneself to succeed. This characteristic is critical in one’s motivation and resilience. Successful people believe their efforts will be successful and that catalyzes their perseverance.

Some strategies to improve self-efficacy include: 1. Focus on increasing experience in the area of interest to improve competence. 2. Observe positive role models and learn from their experiences. 3. Engage in positive affirmation, and accept positive feedback from others. 4. Manage and mitigate self-doubt through mindfulness, or meditation practices. Encouraging children, teens, and adults to develop self-efficacy through supporting their goals and achievements will enable belief in themselves. Coaching can support a focus on self-efficacy.
