Sommaire:
Confidence is the foundation of success. It empowers you to do more and do it better. While many of us have learnt to fake it to limited affect, how many of us can say that we have cultivated self-belief from within? By navigating the fascinating psychological theories and latest thinking, Confidence at Work takes you on a journey of self discovery to help you become bold, charismatic and influential at work. Beginning with an in-depth questionnaire to understand your 'confidence quotient,' it encompasses leading theories and insights including those of Daniel Goleman and Tony Buzan.

Including twenty case studies of successful people from all walks of life, Confidence at Work will help you understand the reasons behind lack of confidence and overcome any hindrances, ensuring that you can handle difficult people with elegance, create your own personal brand and excel in your career....

It has taken 40 years in business, including numerous courses and education sessions for me to understand what I didn't know in Confidence at Work. I just wish I had read it towards the beginning of my career and not towards the end. Larry Hirst, ex CEO of IBM Professor Taylor's book is a cut above the average self-improvement/motivational shtick. It is thoughtful and if you'll take time to consider the implications of what's being said, quietly profound.
