2 Simple Steps to Become Truly Confident
Alexander Volchek
In this video, we discuss what genuine self-confidence is made of. We examine the illusion of “social confidence” and explore how ego can disguise itself as “confidence.” We look at real-life examples, from raising children to major losses such as a home or business, and learn to see the cause-and-effect relationships that form a person's true strength.
