Overview

Many capable people underestimate themselves. They hold back in meetings, don't put themselves forward, or drift without a clear sense of what they want from their work. This course helps them change that.

Participants explore their strengths, values and the beliefs that hold them back, then turn that self-awareness into practical goals and habits. It is reflective, but never vague: everyone leaves with concrete next steps.
