Does speaking up sometimes make you feel anxious and light-headed? Do you repress your voice and withhold your authentic feelings and point of view because you fear rejection or being misunderstood? Would you like to speak with more confidence and credibility, while commanding trust and respect? Then this workshop is for you. This one-day intensive is for everyone who wants to speak up and be heard anywhere and everywhere, all the time — at work, home, school, play. Speak up. Be heard. Everywhere. All the time.

In speaking, whether in a one-to-one situation, at a social or networking event, in a class or staff meeting, or on a stage in front of 5,000 people, a lack of confidence will always undermine our credibility. No one will listen to a timid, tentative speaker. Not having, or losing, confidence can sabotage anyone. There always seems to be a threshold past which we collapse inside of ourselves, crippled by anxiety, doubt, or fear. Without confidence, you won't speak up; you won't be heard. You won't participate. The opportunity of that moment is lost forever. How often has this happened in your life?

There are two kinds of confidence: one is earned, one is innate. Earned confidence comes from education and training, or from years of experience. Innate confidence is an attitude of mind, a choice to be fearlessly and honestly expressive independent of other considerations or factors. Innate confidence is a self-blessing to own and use our inborn right to express ourselves, to speak and be heard, everywhere and at at all times.

Confidence is essential and it is a choice! If you want the unshakeable confidence to say anything to anyone, anywhere and at any time — and be heard! — then register for the next "Confidence is a Choice!" workshop. You'll never again lose the cabin pressure of confidence, no matter where you are, what you're saying, or who's in the audience. You will absolutely reclaim your power to speak and be heard!

This workshop is for everyone who wants to authentically and powerfully express themselves to others, and to be heard and considered. Participants will learn:

• vulnerability is the safest strategy
• how to convert judgment to opinion
• how to dissolve fear-based inhibitions
• to access their innate expressive power
• the source of doubt and self-suppression
• how to create personal and portable safety
• to revise history by "pushing the bully back"
• explore and experience the energy of taboos
• to be comfortable in seeing and being seen
• and much more!

Includes workbook and pen.
