How to Run an Empowering Confidence Coaching Series for Girls (Even If You’re Just Starting Out)

Lead with Heart, Create a Safe Space, and Help Girls Discover Their Inner Strength

You don’t need years of experience, a fancy title, or the perfect plan to help girls build confidence—you just need a heart for empowering others and the courage to start. Whether you're a teacher, mentor, parent, counselor, or brand-new girls' empowerment coach, leading a confidence coaching series can be one of the most meaningful (and fun!) things you do.

The good news? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. With a few core ingredients—like safety, structure, and soul—you can run a powerful series that helps girls feel seen, supported, and proud of who they are.

Here’s how to do it—step-by-step.

💡 Key Takeaways

• You don’t need to be perfect—just present, prepared, and passionate

• A great coaching series helps girls build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-belief

• Confidence grows through consistent encouragement, reflection, and connection

• The goal isn’t to “fix” girls—it’s to help them reconnect with their worth

Step 1: Choose Your Format

Decide what kind of series works best for your schedule and your girls. A common and powerful setup is a 4-week coaching series with one session per week, 60–90 minutes each. You can run it in-person, online, or in a hybrid format depending on what works for you. Keep it simple and doable—you can always grow from there!

Step 2: Create a Safe & Supportive Space

At your very first session, co-create group agreements. Ask your girls: What do we need to feel safe, supported, and respected here? Write their answers down and revisit them often. This builds trust and sets the tone for open, honest, and judgment-free conversations.

Bonus tip: Let girls choose a group name to build ownership and unity from the start!

Step 3: Use a Themed Weekly Structure

A clear theme for each week makes your sessions flow and feel purposeful. Here's a simple 4-week framework to try:
Week 1: Know Your Worth – Self-awareness, values, and strengths
Week 2: Speak Kindly to Yourself – Inner voice, affirmations, and reframing self-talk
Week 3: Be Brave and Take Up Space – Confidence in action, power poses, and boundaries
Week 4: Shine As You Are – Authenticity, reflection, and celebration

Each session should include a mix of:

• A check-in or icebreaker

• A journaling prompt or guided reflection

• A group activity or creative project

• A closing circle or affirmation ritual

Step 4: Keep It Girl-Led and Flexible

Give your girls chances to contribute, lead, or co-create parts of the session. Let them share music, suggest discussion topics, or lead a group cheer. The more ownership they have, the more empowered they’ll feel. And don’t stress if things go off-plan—follow the energy and keep the heart of the session intact.

Step 5: Celebrate Every Step

Confidence is built in the small moments—when a girl speaks up for the first time, shares her story, or supports a peer. Celebrate those wins as a group. Use certificates, verbal affirmations, “shine moments,” or kindness awards. Let your girls see how much they’ve grown by the end of the series.

Step 6: Use a Ready-to-Go Resource

You don’t have to create everything from scratch. The Confidence Coaching Kit is your all-in-one guide for running a powerful 4-week series that helps girls build inner confidence, speak to themselves with kindness, and show up as their authentic selves. It includes:

• Done-for-you weekly themes and lesson plans

• Journaling prompts and group activities

• Printable affirmations and reflection tools

• Confidence-building games and creative projects

Whether you’re brand new to this work or looking to refresh your current program, this kit gives you everything you need to lead with clarity and heart—without overwhelm.

You already have what it takes to be a powerful guide. Just by showing up, listening, and holding space, you’re giving girls something they’ll carry for life: the belief that who they are is more than enough.

Let me know how your series goes—I’d love to cheer you and your girls on!
