Help your daughter tap into the courage, confidence and resilience she never knew she had.
GIrl Shaped Flames Founder, Tanya Meessmann, has captured her engaging, empowering and action-taking key teachings about confidence for teenage girls in this 7-module course.
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
"The course gave me the tools I needed to really take an inward look at myself and understand what my own personal goals are. It taught me how to face difficult situations confidently, knowing that even if I am nervous about something, I have the skills to deal with it instead of shying away.
Tanya’s experiences are so inspiring and she explains things in a really down to earth way, plus the activities and mini-challenges throughout really helped me start improving my own confidence straight away."
Charlotte, Grade 12 Teen Girl

After completing this course, your daughter will:
> have a clearer understanding of herself, her strengths and weaknesses
> know clear ways she can develop her own confidence and self-belief
> and be implementing them into her every-day life.
COURSE CONTENTS & OUTCOMES
The following modules have been developed with GenZ teenage confidence challenges in mind.
MODULE 1: WHAT IS CONFIDENCE?
Tanya dives straight into an understanding of what confidence actually IS, how it manifests itself in different people. and a look at the effectiveness of Power Poses. The girls are given an activity which requires them to explore their own perception of ‘confidence’ and how it looks, sounds, feels and acts.
MODULE 2: WHY IS CONFIDENCE IMPORTANT?
Here, Tanya takes the girls through why confidence is ultimately important, and it has a lot to do with their ability (and likelihood) to reach their potential. A reflective section that challenges the girls to start to understand what they’re really made of.
MODULE 3: WHO ARE YOU?
This module includes a guest appearance from Gesine, who shares with the girls her own personal story of self-discovery. The girls then undertake an activity diving into ‘Who Are You’, building a more comprehensive understanding of their values and desires.
MODULE 4: LINE OF PERCEIVED ABILITY
One of Tanya’s favourite topics to speak to girls about is her ‘Line of Perceived Ability’ theory. This module includes a guest appearance from award-winning PHD Student Amy, who shares what confidence means to her and how she pushes outside her own comfort zone to achieve it.

Now we start getting into the real application of learning. Here, Tanya takes the girls through tangible ways they can start developing their confidence on a daily basis.
