Building Personal and Professional Confidence

The need to acquire industry specific knowledge and skills is an expected part of work and job performance.

However, having confidence and belief in your own abilities and prospects is rarely considered as something required for work.

Yet, it is often how confident we feel about ourselves and our abilities that influences how we feel, perform and succeed at work.

This course focuses on a critical, yet undervalued, attribute needed for work success - confidence.
