What was one of the most memorable moments of Confidence?

A must have for your library. Well written skilled hands on approach for dealing with people and getting to root cause of why we do what do. Skills which you can apply right away in every day personal and business situations and yes including dealing with those crazy neighbors. I have already seen a difference using these skills in my business, family life and in my bottom line working in sales.

Any additional comments?

Thanks to the author for this wonderful Book!!!

Uplifting book..

The idea of this book is that, once completed, your outlook on business will change and your confidence level will rise. The author states that most women are competent or confident, but not both and the end goal is to change that. The book is broken up into the following four sections: Relationships, Reputation, Results and Resilience. All of these “R-words” are values that great leaders, in this case women leaders, should value and strive for. Throughout the book the author addresses each of these topics individually, however, they are all equally important and complement one another.

Found it pretty good

If you're serious learning about overcome social anxiety and you really want to know how to feel good about yourself, just follow this audio book.

Found it pretty good

Great book. Very easy to understand straight to the point. The author gives exercise that you can apply at the moment.

Too much overlap between books

Half of the book was a repeat from another of his books. There are some good tidbits, but no real black swans.

Helps!

My granddaughter loves it! She goes to sleep listening to these cd's every night!!! Her shoulders are held back and her talents are blooming!
Highly recommended!!!

Incredibly helpful

A great book that provides a helpful list of actionable items for you to keep in mind. I'm big on mantras to keep me positive, and this book had plenty. I also found the Navy Seal portion very interesting!

Realistic and useful audible

I really appreciate this workbook. It's realistic, useful and it simplifies what confidence actually means in comparison to what most people consider it to be; shallow and physical.
