Confidence isn’t a result—it’s a requirement for personal and professional success. It fuels persistence, leadership, and well-being. It enables us to be resilient, focused, fearless, and to feel that we belong. It’s the real secret to attracting and achieving what you want – and who you want to be. Unfortunately, we aren’t taught how to be confident. In fact, we’ve been misled, often lied to. Confidence isn’t inherited or vicariously inspired. You don’t just get it by working hard or faking it. Its learned, not earned. Sadly, it takes most people 60+ years to figure it out and reach their confident best. By knowing some basic brain science and social secrets, anyone can have REAL confidence right now.
