Why do some people struggle to rise above their inner critical voice, while others seem to exude waves of confidence no matter the circumstances? How essential is confidence, really, when it comes to boosting health, wealth, motivation and innovation?
In this fascinating masterclass with leading neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Professor Ian Robertson, you will discover the science behind self-belief, and how you can apply it to your own life.
Through seminar as well as participative exercises, you will learn about the incredible effects of confidence on the brain and on the rest of the body, as it waxes and wanes - as well as how confidence differs from optimism or self-esteem. Crucially, you will be guided through exactly why - and how - confidence can be learned, and how to train your complex network of mental processes to reinforce your own.
Designed for anyone in need of more confidence in their personal or professional life, as well as those interested in tapping into the fascinating neuroscience of confidence, this masterclass will leave you with a new catalogue of science-backed information, and a suite of skills that you can layer into your every day, immediately. Leave informed, intrigued, and ready to invigorate your life.
