Description
Confidence is the foundation of success. It empowers you to do more and do it better. While many of us have learnt to fake it to limited affect, how many of us can say that we have cultivated self-belief from within? By navigating the fascinating psychological theories and latest thinking,
Confidence at Work
takes you on a journey of self discovery to help you become bold, charismatic and influential at work. Beginning with an in-depth questionnaire to understand your 'confidence quotient,' it encompasses leading theories and insights including those of Daniel Goleman and Tony Buzan.
Including twenty case studies of successful people from all walks of life,
Confidence at Work
will help you understand the reasons behind lack of confidence and overcome any hindrances, ensuring that you can handle difficult people with elegance, create your own personal brand and excel in your career.
Reviews / Votes
"It has taken 40 years in business, including numerous courses and education sessions for me to understand what I didn't know in Confidence at Work. I just wish I had read it towards the beginning of my career and not towards the end."More details
