Introducing the Confidence Project

[O]ccasionally a project, job, program or situation comes along with such impeccable timing you can’t help but thank the universe for your being exactly where you needed to be at exactly the right time.  That’s how I feel about this project, The Confidence Project. At a time when my own confidence was at a new all time low, and my life in extreme flux,  I was asked to ask a few questions on the subject of confidence and put them together as inspiration for a song to be especially written for Leap to Success as well as an introduction to and inspiration for a new blog.

So, with three little questions I started on my journey towards uncovering what confidence looks like and would like to begin this blog by sharing the answer that has inspired me most so far, and ask also if you wouldn’t mind sharing some of your answers to those three questions here on our blog.

What if I were confident…
How would I feel?  What would I do?  Who would I be?

When I asked a recent participant in July 2012’s Communicate With Confidence class, she answered, “I would fly and I would glide. I can see the wind blowing in my hair.”  I fell in love with that vision. It just about sums it up. With confidence you really can fly and glide and I think I would like to try that. So as I continue to ask these questions and explore the subject of confidence I hope to learn how to get more of it so that I can see the wind blowing in my hair.

So, what about you—How would you feel? What would you do? Who would you be?

Leap to Success

When a woman walks through our doors, she comes bearing a story of survival, strength, and quiet courage. Camie, a 39-year-old single mother and survivor of domestic abuse, found herself at a crossroads. She signed up for Leap to Confidence, unsure of what came next, but she was determined to find out. The program gave Camie purpose and space to reflect, to dig deep, and to begin again.

Camie shares, “This program is like a breath of fresh air when you didn’t know you needed it. It’s like oxygen when you didn’t know you were short of breath. I’m getting to know myself, accepting what I’ve been through. I know I’m gonna be okay. I can be a confident woman who’s gonna be successful. Every week I feel a little bit stronger.”

Many of the women we serve are survivors of domestic abuse. So, in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a handful of our generous donors have established a matching empowerment fund of $50,000 to raise money to EMPOWER 100 WOMEN on the next part of their healing journey.

Together, we're not just raising awareness. We're rebuilding a woman's belief in herself. Thank you for standing with us, walking beside survivors, and inspiring them to chase after their greatest potential. To empower women like Camie, click here: givebutter.com/100women
