The Confidence Plan

Sarah Litvinoff

Confidence lies at the heart of all powerful and effective leaders and organisations. By developing and improving self-confidence, we can plan a personal strategy for success in our personal and professional life.

As a self-development guru, Litvinoff here offers the reader clear and simple advice to understand personal confidence. The core of this book is designed to show readers the way confidence levels affect the individual, what it means, how it affects their life and how they can improve it. Readers can expect to develop a change in their attitude toward themselves, and their ability to succeed in all areas of their lives.

A simple ten-step plan guides readers from understanding where they are now, to where they need to be and how far they have to go to achieve their goal. Key exercises in the book help to identify current confidence levels, assess progress through the book and consolidate and action what has been learned. The topical areas focused on throughout are:
 

• Developing self-perception
• Planning a personal strategy for success
• Overcoming setbacks
• Maintaining a positive frame of mind

This book is relevant for anyone who is without the time or the inclination to pour over jargon-filled analysis. It is clear, concise and accessible; equipping readers with the confident attitude they need to tackle the big issues facing them in their work life.

By systematically working through the material, Litvinoff reveals solutions and conclusions in a style that can be adapted to suit the readers' own circumstances and ambitions. The book demonstrates how a little preparation can make an enormous difference to achieving a happy and balanced life at work and home.
