Title: This Bag is a Coat: Packing and Wearing Confidence for the Journey Ahead!

Keynote Description:

Confidence is a complex social power!  A must-pack for every journey!  Confidence means you believe in yourself and your abilities. A belief, an acceptance of truth, stimulates perseverance when faced with a new or challenging situation. Believing in oneself is complex and not fixed, meaning it consists of many parts and may be lost and gained as you embark on each adventure of life. It is important to maintain confidence because confidence reinforces our ability to try new things. To gain or maintain confidence in a given situation it is important to consider the roles of courage, action, and mindset. Attendees will develop confidence-related awareness and tips to strengthen belief in themselves in uncertain situations.
