Self-Esteem Day - 28 JUNE 2006 - Read
media release >>
NZ’s
Self Esteem Day has now become INTERNATIONAL SELF
ESTEEM DAY… and one step close to the Oprah Show …and
one step closer to becoming a world wide phenomenon.
Founder
of the International Self Esteem day, Janice say’s ‘It’s
an idea whose time has come’. The message floated into my
brain while I was walking says Janice. After 30 years of self esteem
by happenstance, Janice at then turned her life around by consciously
working on her self esteem daily, hourly and even minute by minute.
Everything she’s learnt, she’s taught her children and
others, now she’s teaching the world.
The Message is about: Listen, Learn, Believe, Pass on.
"I am me. In all the
world there is no one else exactly like me.
There are persons who have parts like me, but no one who adds up
exactly like me. Therefore, everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine, because I alone chose it." - Virginia Satir
Self-Esteem is a composite of six vital ingredients
that can empower or detract from the vitality of our lives:
The six are:
PHYSICAL SAFETY - Freedom from physical harm
EMOTIONAL SECURITY - The absence of intimidations and fears
IDENTITY - The "Who am I?" question
AFFILIATION - A sense of belonging
COMPETENCE - A Sense of feeling capable
MISSION - The feeling that one's life has meaning and direction.

"I have known Janice for
a number of years and watched as her idea for a National Self Esteem
Day blossomed. Janice has worked tirelessly for the past few years,
even to the point of funding the whole venture herself so that this
very important day becomes a reality. I was delighted to be a presenter
at a Self Esteem Day she hosted in 2006. In 2007, Janice’s
efforts were rewarded when she was NZ’s only presenter at
the National Speakers Association’s Australian Conference.
Her first step towards taking this to an International level. And
more recently, she was given prime spot on the TV One breakfast
show – giving her nationwide coverage on 27th June. At the
time I was working in Christchurch, watching Team NZ yachting coverage,
along with 90% of the rest of NZ, when I was delighted to see her
name and her advertisement for the International Self Esteem Day,
running across the bottom of the screen during the entire race.
A well earned reward for her tenacity and passion." - Ann Andrews, Teams

IT'S A PERSONAL RESPONSIBLE THING!
If you don't wash your hair, make your bed,
do your housework, maintain your car or house, and look after
yourself and your possessions, they all get that unkept, worn out,
dirty, out of date, look. It's the same with your thoughts
and feelings about yourself. If you don't look after them they'll
get stale and out of date and they won't function properly. It's
your responsiblity how you feel about yourself. Unfortunately for
many of us, we don't understand or know how to 'fix-it'. It's not
an overnight journey but it is possible. This webpage has loads
of ideas, quotes and poems to help you discover how great you are.
"Your Goal in life is to find out who
you are." - Author Unknown
"Well done! You did a great
job of communicating what Self-Esteem Day is all about and succeeded
in making me think (and take action!) It was inspirational to see
someone who had an idea and is bringing it to fruition. Good luck
with Oprah and the movie." - Anne Elder

ARTICLE ABOUT THE PURPLE TICK FOR SUCCESS
THINKING
A self-esteem day for New Zealand
Do New Zealanders lack self-esteem? Are our
suicide rates too high? Are social problems a consequence of bad
attitudes? Attitude specialist Janice Davies thinks so and is organising
an annual national self-esteem day to address the problem.
Everyone knows the red tick for a positive heart, she says, and
would like to see the purple tick for success thinking on newspaper
articles, television advertisements television items, and spread
on other items throughout the community.
'I think it's going to be the world's first self-esteem
day' says Janice who styles herself as 'The lady with "nice" in
her name' and runs a small company training personnel helping companies
find commercial success. She's also a professional speaker, a member
of the National Speakers' Association of NZ.
The National Self-Esteem day is a 'feel-good'
day, she says, whose purpose is to unite New Zealanders by getting
them to think about who they are and help them to feel better about
themselves. She lays out the programme for the day under three headings:
Ideas to boost your own self-esteem
Ideas to boost another person's self-esteem
Activities/goals for work, home, or school to have fun &
achieve in NZ
'It's an idea whose time has come' she enthuses.
'A day for people to boost their own self-esteem, and spread it
to others.
'A low self-esteem affects a broad spectrum of
society, from professional people to beneficiaries. It can have
a short term effect on a person when a crisis occurs in their
life, or a long term affect on people where they are affected throughout
their lives. Low self-esteem affects a person's self-responsibility,
dependency and achievements in life.
'Prevention is better than cure', says Janice,
emphasising that it's a minority group who have never been affected
by low self-esteem at some time.
'It's learning to believe in oneself and understanding
that life is a personal journey to success. However, many
people get hampered along the way by their own and others thoughts
in the form of put-downs. Then they physically and mentally
withdraw and don't contribute to society.
We want people to be have a positive attitude
and be a success for themselves and others.
'Nelson Mandela says " Your playing small does not serve the world"
'Self-esteem day will be non-profit, she says,
organised by New Zealanders for New Zealanders and will become an
annual event, on the first Wednesday in July each year.
Sponsorship, ideas and assistance is welcome.
"Don't surrender your
individuality, which is your greatest agent of power, to the customs
and conventionalities that have got their life from the great mass...
Do you want to be a power in the world? Then be yourself."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

" I saw you on television
before dashing out to work. It made me realise we hadn’t done
any work in with the people on my course about self esteem, so I
included an exercise about that as our start for the day. It went
down well and the team loved it and lifted the spirit of the group."
- Colleen (Workshop facilitator)
SPONSORSHIP REQUIRED FOR POSTERS TO SCHOOLS
"I am training a group of
eight team leaders in the importance of giving and responding to
feedback on performance, as part of a First Line Management programme.
On the 27th of June, I happened to see an item on TV One about Self
Esteem Day which linked in perfectly with this topic. I began the
lesson that day with two warm-up exercises. The first asked the
group to turn to their neighbour and tell him/her one quality that
a member of their team has which they admire and why they admire
it. The second exercise involved them writing down three things:
one physical quality they liked about themselves, one personal attribute
(patience, enthusiasm, tenacity, stability, etc) and one activity
they were really good at. We then shared some of this information
with the group and carried on with the planned lesson. At the end
of the session, I asked them if doing this had made a difference
to how they felt about the lesson and if so, why did they think
this? All of them remarked that they felt more involved, interested
and enthusiastic about the work and added that they would use this
technique (one minute praising) with their staff in the future.
I feel that enriching a person’s self esteem allows them to
develop in extraordinary ways and is ‘the secret’ behind
successful training in every subject." - C
Porteous, Workshop facilitator
