Self Confidence. You vs You.

We were having a conversation with some guys and one of the questions that I was asked was, "Tell me about confidence. What can I do to improve my confidence?" And I said, you know, everybody is asking for like a five-step process to having more confidence, right? But, to me, confidence stems from a couple of different things. I am going to talk about two different things, one of them being how to be more confident.  No matter you do, a person who's a criminal who's extremely confident, a man who's a player who's extremely confident with women, a businessman who's extremely good at what he does with business, a person who runs anything; a coach, an athlete, anybody who's extremely confident at what they do, it's not just a natural state.

From talking to her and clients in similar situations is that the WFH situation isn’t quite the paradise people once thought it was.
