You asked for it. And now it's here. Back in the fall, I sent a few questions to all of my readers asking what personal development issues would most interest you for a course. The resounding response was self-confidence. Along with Erin Falconer of the mega personal development blog Pick the Brain, I have created ... Continue Reading
At some point in our lives, all of us have suffered a crisis of confidence. Whether it was a situational issue or a lingering dark cloud of insecurity, a self-confidence problem holds us back from living fully -- from living a bold and fearless life. Many people believe that a lack of self-confidence is an innate personality ... Continue Reading
