Course Description : Build confidence in the new year! Confidence is not a concrete characteristic. There are things we can do to influence our confidence level. Whether we realize it or not, we all go through waves of low and high confidence, depending on the scenario, or based on what else we've done that day. For some of us, it's based on what we're wearing or how we're feeling. There are some situations that universally test our confidence more than others, but the good news is that you can build confidence. Here are some ways to build your overall, daily confidence level.  Click here to log in and watch this course... 

Support: For questions, support or additional information please contact our amazing support team by email at support@p1learning.com or by phone at (888) 944-9377.

Don't miss out on your opportunity for free, online training as an MAB member! Sign your staff up today!
