Back Yourself — Building Confidence That Holds When It Counts

The Problem

"Confidence can feel like something some people simply have. In fact the feeling is its least reliable part; confidence is also a decision, a skill and a belief that you have your own back. Those can be trained, and the strongest source of self-belief is doing the thing and seeing that you can."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For students, working adults, athletes, performers, parents and anyone facing a challenge that asks them to back themselves.

Most people wait to feel confident before they act, yet confidence usually arrives after the action. This course treats confidence as something you practise: the way you talk to yourself, handle a mistake, read your nerves and choose who backs you. The core is eleven modules built around seven practices, from taking stock to a personal playbook for the moments that test you, resting on Albert Bandura's research on self-efficacy. Optional add-ons serve leaders, parents, teachers and coaches, and short packs take the skills into study, work, sport, the stage, relationships, health and life changes.
