		<description><![CDATA[Building your core confidence means you can get more out of your life, feel more in control and manage your time, energy and personal and work relationships so much better.  This can only affect those around you positively as you learn how to be clear, easy, calm and straightforward without all the anxiety you used to have. This course could change your life...for good!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="first-letter">Y</span>ou know, being confident or developing a certain inner calm, an unshakeability that you admire so much in others, isn&#8217;t necessarily out of your reach.  You just need someone to press the button in you that sets you off in the right direction.  That button might be the <span id="more-742"></span>&#8216;ouch! That hurt!&#8217; button, because let&#8217;s face it, people don&#8217;t take action about improving their confidence unless they really feel in crisis about things.</p>
<h6><span class="omg-quote-before">&nbsp;</span>You know, people would have laughed at me if I&#8217;d said I wanted to go on a confidence and assertiveness development course!<span class="omg-quote-after">&nbsp;</span></h6>
<p>You know? People don&#8217;t turn up to therapy because they&#8217;ve got a little something they&#8217;d like to improve.  They show up because they&#8217;re desperate and their lives are in turmoil.  So usually, when we eventually realise that we can&#8217;t continue being a door mat or feeling wretched all the time, that&#8217;s when we&#8217;ll be looking for someone to help us with our confidence levels.  And even then, many won&#8217;t want to consult anyone in person.  They&#8217;ll look on amazon or on the internet for some hints and tips, which you&#8217;ll find copious amounts of.  But no one is going to give you their full attention for nothing.  You&#8217;ll trawl through the internet and read through countless books looking for that little bit of wisdom that&#8217;ll help you &#8216;snap out of it&#8217;.  How many more months, years or decades are you going to spend looking for the right person, for the answers, before you find yourself either in deep personal crisis or ground down so low that you can&#8217;t get up?</p>
<p>I hate to paint a miserable picture, but take it from someone who knows what it&#8217;s like to have been there.  I spent years and years in unhappy circumstances lurching from one crisis to the next, and while externally I looked totally confident, internally I was feeling very unconfident, undermined and somewhere quite anxious.  You know, people would have laughed at me if I&#8217;d said I wanted to go on a confidence and assertiveness development course!</p>
<p>Strangely now though, socially my over exhuberance has turned to quiet confidence. I&#8217;m calm.  I don&#8217;t try too hard.  In fact, sometimes I don&#8217;t try at all!  I don&#8217;t always need to.  I don&#8217;t have to be the life and soul of the party filling in the empty gaps and making everyone happy! No. I can relax now and not feel so key to everyone else&#8217;s enjoyment.  But guess what? Now I know how to enjoy myself without all that effervescent activity unless I choose to.  What a relief!</p>
<h6><span class="omg-quote-before">&nbsp;</span>There is nothing more powerful than being able to write down and work through some of your limiting beliefs.<span class="omg-quote-after">&nbsp;</span></h6>
<p>Why not join me on my Masterclass in Assertiveness and Confidence and I&#8217;ll talk you through how to do the same.  My Audio course in Confidence and Assertiveness is packed full of insights that will prompt your own awakening to what is really important and not important for you.  The 4 hours crammed full with material for your personal growth you can download directly onto your Ipod or MP3 player and start listening today!  I also give you worksheets to complement the audio so that you process in writing what you&#8217;re learning in audio. There is nothing more powerful than being able to write down and work through some of your limiting beliefs.  It is a much underrated form of personal development and one that I encourage you to turn to.</p>
<p>Now, if you have a friend or family member who you know so desperately needs a boost or some way of accessing personal development without the humiliation of making a phone call to actually<strong> <em>talk</em></strong> about it, why not encourage them to download this product too!  It is really just a fraction of what going to a live course would cost or embarking on therapy.  And if it opens them up to finding some answers for themselves, perhaps they&#8217;ll be more inclined to make that wretched phone call and choose someone to work with!</p>
