Self-efficacy is defined as your belief in your own abilities to deal with various situations. It’s a different concept than self-worth or self-esteem. At its root, self-efficacy is similar to confidence. In general, to have self-efficacy means you believe in your ability to succeed. Helping your students to grow in their self-efficacy should be of the utmost importance. Youth motivational speakers are prime examples of people with strong self-efficacy, and they want to help your students have self-efficacy, too!

 Youth Motivational Speakers on Why Self-Efficacy Matters

Youth motivational speakers know that self-efficacy is vital to a successful future. Research shows that self-efficacy may be able to predict how well a student will perform academically. It can also play an important part in determining a student’s future success in college or their career. Self-efficacy can even change a person’s thoughts and how they view their place in the world. As educators, you want your students to be successful, and so do we. That makes building your students’ self-efficacy so important. Youth motivational speakers like Brad Hurtig know just how valuable self-efficacy is. When faced with extreme adversity, Brad was encouraged to believe he could succeed – and he did. Now, he wants to encourage your students to do the same.
