This lack of self-assurance can keep you from communicating the way you want to, finishing the projects you have started or building the kind of business success you long for.
Confidence 101 is an interactive webinar that focuses on how our inner core beliefs affect our confidence, relationships and leadership abilities. Join licensed psychotherapist and coach, Karol Ward as she discusses and show you how to find what you need to build your confidence. Using a facilitative approach, Karol will discuss:
