How to Build Self Confidence is a post from: Gain self confidence and live your perfect life!

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) August 04, 2011

SocialSmarts today officially announced that it has added Christopher Burgess to its Advisory Board, effective immediately. Most recently the senior security advisor to the chief security officer at Cisco Systems, Burgess is a former senior national security executive.

‘We are extremely pleased to be able to have Mr. Burgess participate in our mission in such a significant way,” SocialSmarts’ President and Founder, Corinne Gregory, stated about the appointment. “Given how much attention and activity around social skills and anti-social behavior, such as bullying, involves technology and electronic media these days, the addition of an expert in this area is extraordinarily important.”

Mr. Burgess’ substantial experience in this area includes having served as the Senior Security Advisor to the Chief Security Officer of Cisco, where he focused on intellectual property strategies; where during his tenure he had responsibilities which included the Global Threat Analysis providing geopolitical, economic and security analysis to Cisco strategists; the Global Investigative Support team which provided electronic forensic support to the enterprise’s investigatory group; the Government Security Office (NISPOM/DCID) team and the eLitigation & eDiscovery support (EDRM) efforts within Cisco.

About his involvement with SocialSmarts, Burgess says, “SocialSmarts brings to the table direction needed to be an effective person, be it a corporate CEO or a K-12 student. There’s something for everyone to learn how crafting the win for your collaborators is the essence of your own success.”

Burgess’ humanitarian interest issues as well as technology topics meshes well with SocialSmarts’ mission of bringing “’civil’ back to ‘civilization’” by focusing on developing positive social skills, character and values in children and adults. Burgess notes, “First there was Covey and his practical time management techniques, now we have SocialSmarts and successful behavior techniques. It is a pleasure to join the Advisory Board of SocialSmarts and assist in some small way in making a big difference.”

“We are extremely fortunate to have gained such a positive and influential resource in Mr. Burgess,” Ms. Gregory shared. “We believe the schools, teachers, families and communities we serve will benefit strongly from his expertise and experience in areas that will only continue to expand as technology and ‘social interaction’ continue.”

Baltimore, MD. (PRWEB) August 25, 2011

Umachaka Media Inc. headed by award winning film director Ashley Lazarus has introduced a brand new vision for children’s websites. TJandPals.com is a children’s website that utilizes verified educational principles to allow kids, ages 3 to 7, to learn without even realizing that they are learning. They have also developed the technology to give kids the ability to play on the internet without being exposed to child targetted advertisements or other influences.

The site is based on objects commonly found in knapsacks and pencil cases. They include an engaging and curious pencil, a ruler, dancing scissors, a group of singing paint brothers, a story telling paint brush and more. As someone who has worked for Mattel, Disney, and Sesame Street, Lazarus has unique insight into children’s minds. When he designed the characters he was able to tap into this intuition and create characters and stories that keep children entranced and coming back for more.

“How often have we heard our kids say ‘Mommy, I’m bored’? As a parent, and now as a grandparent, I have continually kept this in mind when designing and creating TJ & Pals.” Ashley Lazarus, explains that the biggest impetus in creating the site was his own grandchildren. For many years Lazarus lived on a different continent than his grandkids and simple activities like reading a story face to face and assembling puzzles were an impossibility. Using his resources in the film and educational programming industries Lazarus culled a team of animators, writers, game designers and educators to create a site where grandparents would have the ability to play games with their grandchildren from across the world.

TJ & Pals (http://www.tjandpals.com) offers up captivating learn-as-you-play games, imaginative animated e-books, online creative tools, interactive video content, and a kid’s “fitness gym”. It provides entertaining “Watch and Learn Instructional Videos” so kids can figure out how to play the games and activities by themselves. This ultimately encourages kids to discover things on their own and builds their self esteem. The creators of TJ & Pals have also utilized a variety of proven educational principles when designing the games and activities on the site. Following kid’s intuitive learning patterns, learning as you play, and repeating ideas and concepts throughout the games and songs are three examples of such principles.

One of the biggest difficulties with young children playing on the internet is the potential outside influences that may effect them. The technicians at Umachaka have come up with a solution to this problem: the SafePlay function. When your child is in the TJ & Pals SafePlay Playground, nobody can gain access to him. No advertisers. No other websites. No other people. Your child cannot even accidentally connect to another website because once your child is in SafePlay, TJ & Pals avoids all web browsers. It’s just your child and his favorite pencil.

For all of those moms who have to travel long distances with their kids in the back seat of the car, or have to sit in the dentist’s waiting room for 45 minutes listening to their children complain, Lazarus and his team are taking TJ and his Pals into the App world. TJ & Pals’ technicians have designed down-loadable Apps for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, which can be found by searching for TJ &Pals in Apple’s App Store. Android Apps are being developed and will be available at the Android Market. Also in development is a downloadable “Super App,” TJ’s world, that will not only control and help kids navigate all TJ & Pals Apps from one App, but will provide parents the information to create a safe and secure mobile environment for their children to play in without them being connected to the internet.

TJ’s Club (https://tjandpals.com/tjs-club-video), the membership based version of the site, with a modest monthly fee, will be rolling out August 22nd, 2011 and will be packed with unique benefits & features including Live Play which enables family and friends anywhere in the world to play with your kids one on one in real time. Grandmothers in England will be able to play with their five year old grandchildren in Pennsylvania over the internet or on their iPads. The paid version will also include TJ Connect, a safe, secure and private communications platform with instant messaging, text chat and video chat options – think Skype – but a parentally controlled safe version for little kids. The membership site will also provide an extensive and continually updated selection of activities, e-books, how to’s and games, so that kids are continuously challenged and gratified. For one membership fee TJ’s Club will provide four family members with their own “private worlds” – a fun space in which kids and grandparents can store their “favorites,” watch the video they love, try that puzzle they couldn’t quite do the day before, or share an e-book with a friend.

To celebrate the launch of their site and to attract the powerful Mom Market, the creators of TJ & Pals are launching the “TJ & Pals Just For Moms Sweepstakes” where one lucky mom will win a $ 250 shopping spree at Amazon.com and a one year membership to TJ’s Club. The sweepstakes can be entered via their website http://www.TJandPals.com/sweepstakes or directly from their Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/TJandPals.

Umachaka Media Inc. produces and distributes TJ & Pals, a unique web, mobile and multimedia “learn as you play” digital edutainment playground for kids, develops and markets LivePlay proprietary software and interactive communication platforms that run games, activities, education and entertainment content on digital media. Umachaka Media also creates original content for internet, mobile and conventional mass media distribution. The name of the company Umachaka comes from the chorus of the very first song written for TJ & Pals. It is African for “swinging free” because according to Lazarus “every child has the potential to creatively swing free.”

(PRWEB UK) 1 September 2011

Alex, a personal trainer, fitness and nutrition expert, Gaspari sponsored bikini athlete and entrepreneur, has gained her Pro Card after competing in just two competitions: Fitness America in Miami (2009), and the WBFF Toronto (2010). She will now compete against other pro card holders in future competitions.

Paul Dillett, President and CEO of the WBFF http://www.wbffshows.com said: “We were really impressed with Alex – the fact that we awarded her our Pro Card is recognition of that. What stood out for me and for Allison – our Executive Vice President – is that she has the full package: physique, personality, professionalism and an entrepreneurial spirit – a true fitness professional. She’ll be a great role model for the WBFF and the industry at large.”

A WBFF Pro Card confirms an athlete’s professional status in the world of fitness and bodybuilding. It is awarded to those who make the top three in their competition category, and who represent the overall package of beauty, athleticism, physical fitness, and marketability. There are just 90 WBFF pro card holders in the world across all male and female categories.

Alex said: “As a federation, the WBFF sets a high standard and attracts the strongest competitors from all corners of the globe. Trust me the competition is high ! But I chose to aim for my pro card with them because they’re focused on doing the best for their athletes – providing a great experience, and giving their winners fantastic opportunities with sponsors, magazines and photographers. They really understand how hard we work and the challenges we face and are incredibly supportive.”

This time Alex competed in the Bikini Diva category. But unlike many of her rivals, Alex is no classic weight loss story. In fact, her story is quite the opposite. In her early 20s, Alex struggled with anorexia, bulimia and depression. Her journey from small town Ireland, to international fitness competitions may seem out of the ordinary, but it touches on problems that so many women face nowadays: low self-esteem, poor body image, and emotional eating.

After overcoming these challenges and setting up two fitness businesses, Alex entered the competitive circuit and quickly attracted attention from the media, sports brands, and followers alike. She has been featured in modelling shots and written articles in a variety of magazines including WBFF’s Fit and Firm, ExtraFit (Qatar); and UK magazines Women’s Fitness, Ultra Fit, and Fitnorama; and is a UK sponsored athlete for sports nutrition company Gaspari – a highly-sought after role in the fitness industry.

More recently, international fitness celebrity Jennifer Nicole-Lee has selected her to be one of the elite group of fitness models to accelerate their careers through her Fitness Model Factory. She said: “Alex is a future international fitness celebrity in the making. Being a leader in the fitness industry, and only working with the best, I was thrilled to see her apply at http://www.FitnessModelFactory.com . I was impressed with her amazing physique, smile, and camera presence … Alex is fabulous!”

Alex can be found at http://www.alexandrawilson.com, blogging on the Gaspari website http://gasparinutrition.co.uk/alex-wilson.html, on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/TheAlexWilson, and on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alexandra-Wilson-Fitness-Celebrity/194488277270458

Saranac Lake, NY (PRWEB) December 07, 2011

Adirondack Leadership Expeditions, a character-development wilderness program for troubled teens, has introduced a new “Quest” alternative track targeted at traditional and therapeutic boarding school students. The new program was created to give boarding school students an alternative to going home where they often end up finding trouble. Quest students will spend time outdoors learning some of the unique interpersonal and self-development skills acquired during the full-term Adirondack Leadership Expeditions wilderness program, with some added fun.

“Adirondack Leadership Expeditions recognizes that students returning home during school breaks run the risk of relapse, reintroduction to negative peer groups, and regression to destructive behavioral patterns,” said Christine Riley, Clinical Director for the program. “And while it may be difficult to not be with family during the holidays, it is in response to requests we received from boarding schools, parents, Educational Consultants, and the students themselves that we are pleased to host a tailored ten day alternative in the form of the Quest program.”

Adirondack Leadership Expeditions will continue to operate its successful 6-8 week full-term wilderness program, and will just apply some of the most useful program components to the Quest program. Fun activities such as arts, crafts and photography will be offered during the new program, as well as a more flexible schedule for the teens.

“Quest is, of course, structured, but it is also more flexible in terms of the approach we use with the kids,” explained Riley. “We want to give teens a more enjoyable alternative to going home and rediscovering some of the negative behaviors they previously experienced. We’ve amped up the fun factor while at the same time still creating a meaningful outdoor experience for them.”

Students will experience this short-term program in three deliberate steps: preparation, journey and reflection. In the preparation phase, students create a “full-value contract” individually and with peers in which they create goals for themselves and identify their strengths and struggles prior to enrollment. Students address and learn how to express their individual needs within a positive peer culture, and are then mentored, supported and validated. They learn to become attuned to their own sense of strength and are given the space to articulate – and have empathy for – their struggles.

During the journey phase, students have the opportunity to demonstrate their learned wilderness skills, work on group initiatives and team-build. They are given leadership opportunities and earn Wilderness First Aid and CPR certification. In addition, they summit at least one high peak and participate in community service projects.

In the reflection phase, students are given opportunities to reflect on their personal goals through self-evaluation and participation in feedback sessions with peers and wilderness instructors.

“Quest isn’t designed to replace the invaluable experience of our full-term program – it isn’t realistic to expect the types of vast improvements that can be accomplished over the course of several weeks within this much smaller time frame – but the program is designed to give a young person a taste of the wilderness experience so that they can celebrate their newfound skills at the conclusion of Quest, and return to their boarding school with a renewed sense of self, others, and the community,” said Riley.

The first successful Quest program was conducted from November 18 through the 28. Adirondack Leadership Expeditions plans to conduct the next Quest program during winter break, from December 16 – January 2. For admissions information, contact Patrick McAvoy at pmcavoy(at)adkle(dot)com or (518) 524-6829.

Adirondack Leadership Expeditions specializes in helping teens ages 13-17 who are exhibiting oppositional defiant behavior as well as entitlement issues, manipulation, low self-esteem, substance use, failure in school or negative peer association. The program promotes personal growth through a focus on insight-oriented experiences. The program’s forested, mountainous setting removes urban distractions and simplifies options to help students gain insight into their core values and accept responsibility for their choices.

Adirondack Leadership Expeditions is a program of Aspen Education Group, the nation’s leading provider of therapeutic education programs for struggling or underachieving young people. Aspen’s services range from short-term intervention programs to residential treatment, and include a variety of therapeutic settings such as boarding schools, outdoor behavioral health programs and special needs summer camps, allowing professionals and families the opportunity to choose the best setting to meet a student’s unique academic and emotional needs. Aspen is a member of CRC Health Group, the nation’s largest chemical dependency and related behavioral health organization. Since 1995, CRC Health has been achieving successful outcomes for individuals and families.

About Dr Katz

Dr. Harold Katz, founder of The California Breath Clinics, is the recognized expert in the fields of bad breath, tonsil stones, and dry mouth. Known as the ‘Bad Breath Guru’ from his numerous television appearances on shows like The View and the CBS Early Show, he has helped millions of people around the world eliminate their bad breath problems. Dr. Katz is a graduate of UCLA and the UCLA School of Dentistry and holder of a separate degree in Bacteriology, also from UCLA.

Dr. Katz began his own breakthrough research into the causes of Bad Breath in the early 1990s, after he was unable to help his own teenage daughter with her severe and chronic breath problem. His background in Bacteriology assisted him in realizing that Bad Breath is caused by a group of Anaerobic Sulfur-Producing Bacteria which breed within the tongue’s surface and throat. Under certain conditions, these bacteria initiate the production of the Volatile Sulfur Compounds found in Bad Breath and Taste Disorders. In 1993 he founded the internationally acclaimed California Breath Clinics, where he treated and continued to study patients with chronic breath problems, tonsil stones, dry mouth and other troublesome oral care issues that did not have simple, effective over the counter treatments. The resulting products – refined over and over since their introduction – are nothing short of astonishing. Clinical tests of Dr. Katz’s patients have repeatedly resulted in a complete elimination of over 98% of the Volatile Sulfur Compounds that cause bad breath within the mouth.

About TheraBreath®

Since the introduction of TheraBreath products in 1994, no one has helped more people fight bad breath than Dr. Katz. Over six million people in 98 different countries have successfully used the TheraBreath® System formulas, which help eliminate bad breath and allow users to gain newfound self-confidence. With offices located in Los Angeles, TheraBreath® is the world’s top premium oral care system.

(PRWEB) December 16, 2011

Birmingham Maple Clinic, providers of professional mental health services in Michigan for over 30 years, recently reported on the results of a study linking Oxytocin use with reduced social anxiety. According to the Clinic’s blog, psychcentral.com recently published findings on a new study carried out by Concordia University which found that Oxytocin (a naturally occurring hormone in females) if taken intranasally, may help to increase the self-esteem of those who suffer from social anxiety, making it easier to enjoy parties, dating and family gatherings. This is an important finding for those who suffer from mild to severe cases of social anxiety according the staff at Birmingham Maple Clinic, who treat a variety of mental illnesses at their treatment center in Michigan, as the use of Oxytocin could potentially be a drug-free yet effective way to control symptoms in patients who may be faced with anxiety when it comes to attending those holiday parties, New Year’s celebrations and other special occasions.

The expert mental health providers at the Clinic’s Michigan treatment center reported that according to psychcentral.com, participants in the Concordia study self-administered a dose of Oxytocin intranasally and were given a questionnaire containing questions about their current mental state 90 minutes after the dose had been given. The results found that those who received Oxytocin reported feeling more outgoing and open to being social when compared with those who received a placebo. This is significant, the team pointed out, in that this is the first indication that Oxytocin may have a part to play when it comes to safely treating social anxiety in individuals who suffer from the condition.

Birmingham Maple Clinic has been specializing in mental health services in Michigan for over 30 years, providing services for individuals, couples, families, groups and the community. The clinic provides treatment for a variety of psychological conditions, including child and adult ADHD, anxiety and panic disorders, chronic illness, depression, grief and loss, eating disorders, substance abuse, sexual addiction, post traumatic stress disorder and marriage, family and relationship counseling.
