How is confidence relevant to your life and work?

Confidence is an invisible force that is as real and consequential as gravity itself. It takes confidence to get out of bed in the morning. It takes confidence to step inside the arena. It takes confidence to play “all in,” to know when “nice and easy” is enough.

Every client and potential client needs to feel confident that you will look after their interests. Your colleagues need to know not only that you are competent, but that you have the confidence to handle your part of the deal.

As you pursue goals, Authentic Confidence mobilizes you to take risks, overcome obstacles and to stay – stay in the relationship, stay in the game, stay on course, stay true to you.

The 7 Keys will guide you in the complex process of presenting yourself and your work. Applying The 7 Keys will distinguish you from the competition. When you declare your commitment to a specific quest,
you will discover how The 7 Keys band together to aid you in pursuing and achieving your highest aspirations.

The aim of this program is to equip you with The 7 Keys and connect with your innate confidence. Whenever you are shaken, temporarily thrown, or even disheartened – The 7 Keys are there to remind and restore your Authentic Confidence. Confidence and faith are partners – giving you courage to step in, step up and move forward.

The 7 Keys

  • Purpose – why you do what you do
  • Passion – the animating force that propels people into action
  • Preparation – get ready
  • Partnering – working together to create value
  • Practice – the path to mastery
  • Poise – dignity and grace amidst the unexpected
  • Presentation – telling your story, getting real and closing the deal
