Communication Tip of the Day from Treat Consulting: COACH TO BUILD CONFIDENCE. Don't dismiss an employee who doesn’t have confidence. Build it. 1. Hone in. Does he have the building blocks from which to build confidence, i.e., focus, logic and self/social awareness? 2. Give him specific feedback about his work performance, iteratively (repeatedly to himself), e.g., ‘You did a good job of organizing volunteers to give the right information to potential patrons at the fund raiser.’ 3. Dig in. Help him accept your compliment. Insist, gently.
