About this course

Confidence. We know that when we have it, we are less stressed, less frustrated, happier, and get better results. Yet it sometimes feels fleeting – one mistake can crash our confidence. In this Master Class, you will learn what confidence really is, why it is so important, and how to build it in predictable and systematic ways. You will learn the warning signs of becoming overconfident, and how to use your confidence to build a better future for yourself. You will also learn how to support and build the confidence of those around you – as a friend, parent, colleague, or leader.
