Some people are just plain shy but, amazingly, some of the seemingly most confident & successful people find certain areas of their life difficult to negotiate. This may be at work; it may be about finding the right partner; it may be about speaking in front of 100 people. The aim of the book is to provide the tools to improve your overall confidence & self-esteem. The book elaborates on the techniques shown on the primetime BBC 2 series, Confidence Lab, in which 12 people are taken to a country house hotel & 're-educated' over a week. The results were even better than expected, with all ' Labees' reporting significant improvements to their lives.
