Self Esteem Day

The Purple Tick for positive Thinking Campaign earmarks NZ 3rd Self-Esteem Day - 28th June 2006

Attitude Specialist, Janice Davies has started this WORLD First day and has called it the Purple Tick for positive Thinking, after NZ's red tick for positive heart. From researching the groups she presents to, 95% of people have suffered low esteem sometime in their lives. Some never recover and it's right across society, including our children, adolescents, adults and pensioners . The self-esteem day is a time to remember to boost your own and others esteem as well as helping New Zealand.

In Auckland, she's planning a morning of Professional Speakers presenting to a business crowd. Around the rest of New Zealand she's planning a marketing programme for people to do:

5 Activities to boost their own esteem, 5 to boost others and one activity for the community or environment .

Janice believes low self-esteem is one of the reasons we have many of our social, and educational problems. Research carried out Richie Poulton and his team at the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit , over a ten year period, found that adolescent with poorer mental and physical health had higher levels of criminal behaviour compared to those of adolescents with high self esteem.

Additionally in the workplace there are underachievers and people lacking in the confidence to perform, she says. The self-esteem day is an idea whose time has come - everyone can learn to believe in themselves and achieve greater things, then maybe the message will rub off to do it daily.

Janice is a professional conference speaker, business trainer, success coach and author and President of National Speakers Association of NZ (Auckland). With 5 books on attitude, setting goals and esteem, Janice has set herself a goal to be on the Oprah Winfrey show in the next 5 years promoting this event. She has been appointed the first NZ Representative onto the International Council of Self Esteem . A charitable non-profit organization dedicated to sharing research, resources and information and strategies to enhance human effectiveness .

Although she has no sponsor yet, and this is voluntary, Janice is certain that a company with vision of creating the feel-good factor in New Zealand will be interested in sponsoring this event out into the community, to our schools, work places, hospitals and rest homes. It's an huge opportunity!
