The Confidence to be Yourself takes you step by step through the understanding process. and first chapters define confidence and establish whether it is 'a birthright' or an acquired ability.You will then learn how you can confront your feelings of self-confidence both in terms of how you feel within yourself, and how you project yourself in public - an apparently confident person may be experiencing very different emotions to the ones they are presenting. Dr Roet also introduces the idea of a 'circle' or 'spectrum' of confidence one end is total confidence; the other, insecurity and fear. His confidence-building technique encourages you to take up your position on the spectrum and work towards full confidence.Throughout the book, Dr Roet provides case histories, exercises and 'Confidence Booster' sections, including tips such as: 'When you have achieved a goal, praise yourself for it,' and 'If you do not achieve your goal, spend time learning from the procedure.'
