Change the narrative.
A better narrative. This is the overriding purpose of these resources. Confidence is a good story, well told. You have the story, and it’s a whopper. But you’re not telling your own story as well as you could be.
Make us care. This is the main goal of any story well-told. You may be shy about people hearing your story, but until you say more clearly what is happening in your heart and mind, even those closest to you will have a hard time connecting with what you care deeply about.
Speak up. Let us come along with you into your story. Doing so will boost your confidence and also invite those around you into your cheering section.
Want more help?
I can help you tell your story well.
You have three options for your next step. You could read more by going to the “older entries” link, above. Or you could contact me and describe what you’re going through. And I’ll be in touch with suggestions. Or you can book a free session to make a time to get together and talk it over in person. Whatever you choose, I’m here to help you focus, overcome resistance, and get moving again.
Get focused and Get moving.
