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!
