We are committed to providing a safe and supportive atmosphere; this is because an accepting atmosphere allows for the best possible outcomes. Most of our workshops involve laughter and maybe a tear or two, both hallmarks of truly transformational trainings. If the prospective participant has potentially serious issues with anxiety and/or is under the care of a mental health or medical provider:

• Get clearance from the professionals that know the prospective participant best.
• Describe to us in detail your condition and outline acceptable accommodations on the group workshop registration form (link is provided to the contracting agency).
• First and foremost, you should share our website and materials with treating medical providers and follow their advice. They may contact us at any time.

• This workshop is for everyone, including those with a fair level of confidence. Having decent self-esteem doesn’t necessarily translate into skills for radiating confidence. And, if others don’t perceive you as credible and confident as you feel, you may become overlooked, stalled – and frustrated. Many powerful, accomplished people (including adults in our adult confidence workshop) report huge benefits from this workshop. So many adults say things such as, “I wish I had learned these tools earlier!”
• Some participants describe themselves as having low or zero confidence. That’s okay, too. You simply haven’t been taught the tools to anchor into yourself when you’re under pressure. You deserve to look and feel confident, and get respect; it’s your birthright.
• This workshop will not fix low self esteem and is does not offer psychological tools or mental health treatment. It will not create heroic feelings of unwavering confidence. The human condition precludes moments of anxiety and self-doubt for everyone. This workshop offers 12 tools that help most people to anchor a bit into their authentic self; this is strong ground. With practice, this ground gets stronger.

Individual Seats:

• We do not offer public workshops (single seats for purchase). We offer workshops to pre-established groups. If you’d like to attend this workshop, ask a local non-profit if they’d consider contracting a workshop and offering you a seat (free or to purchase from them).

Pre-Established Groups:

• We offer young adult and teen confidence trainings to pre-formed groups (colleges, high schools, middle schools, faith groups, clubs, 501c3 Non-Profits). These groups may contact us.
• Delivery Method: Either Live Virtual or Onsite at your chosen location.
• Adult confidence workshops (aka leadership presence) for pre-established groups can be found here.

Do you or your group need help finding funds?  Payment Options:

1. Sponsors: A group of parents (and/or youth) can find 1 sponsor to pay for the workshop, 4 local sponsors to each pay 25% of the entire workshop fee – or 10 sponsors to each pay 10%, etc. For great ideas, see our Sponsor web page and share it with potential sponsors. 
2. Employee Reimbursement: Is your teenager or young adult employed? Employer reimbursement may apply. Ask the employer.
3. Of course, there’s always Private pay: An organization pays a set fee (if desired, the organization can ask each family to reimburse for their child’s or relative’s seat). This option works well when a pre-established group (like a graduation commencement committee, faith group, school or club) can easily get the word out and offer individual seats to its community.

We’re happy to provide special accommodations as long as we have at least three weeks notice (so that we can make sure we can provide the accommodations you require). Please note any special needs on your registration form, and describe a satisfactory accommodation arrangement in as much detail as possible.

• Lunch breaks usually begin about half way through our workshops.
• During these working lunches, you will be paired with a buddy for an enjoyable learning activity.
• Please inform your family, workplace and associates that you will not be available to attend to business or personal matters (except in the case of emergency) during the lunch hour or breaks. Don’t worry – this is fun!

Be yourself.  There are no hard and fast rules here. Nothing too revealing, though, for this workshop. This is because we want to teach you to learn how to get noticed for your way of being and we don’t want to detract from that. Later you can dress as you wish.

These said, if you’re entering the workforce, or preparing for interviews or high-stake conversations: A general rule is to dress to where you want to go in your career. If you’re interested in a promotion, this can mean dressing one step up in formality. Some people plan their outfits in advance as a way of lowering pre-workshop stress and get feedback from peers or the facilitators (just ask).

Layers are good to accommodate varying temperatures of meeting space.

Ultimately, we want you to be comfortable, so please find a solution that serves you best.

Either – and often both – of the company founders will lead the workshop. This means there will usually be both one male and one female instructor. Both founders over 20 years of individual instructional experience. See instructor bios.

• Minimum: We’ve found that peer support and feedback enriches the learning experience. Each participant learns a lot by watching what others do well (and not so well) and therefore we recommend a minimum of 4 people per training.
• Maximum: This training is highly effective, in part because we limit the training from 12-16 participants. Therefore, each receives an enormous amount of solo attention, peer support and instructor feedback, all effective in removing personal insecurity-indicators and building a confident presence based upon one’s authentic and unique personality.

• The price includes: Multi-hour training, participant workbooks – and tools that – with practice – can last a lifetime.

Ages:

Young adults and teens 14 – 20 years old are warmly welcome (some age exceptions are made – just ask).

Those 21 years and older may consider our adult confidence course, aka leadership presence course.

Genders:

All genders and gender identifications are warmly welcome.  Power for Everyone.

Groups can be formed as mixed-gender or solo-gender.

Yes. It seems that almost all participants arrive a bit nervous (even C-Suite business leaders in our adult confidence workshops), so there’s no need to hide it. This nervousness typically passes after about 15-30 minutes. Some of our most transformed participants are those who hemmed and hawed about canceling up to the very last minute (and are now so grateful that they took the risk to attend).
