More resilient
- Gives you the skills and coping methods to handle setbacks and failure
- Helps you see how failure leads to your growth
Improves your relationships
- With more self-confidence, you actually focus on yourself less
- You’re not so focused on the impression you leave when you’re confident
- Breeds deeper empathy because you can be fully present
Stronger sense of your authentic self
- You can easily accept your weaknesses and understand they don’t change your self-worth
- Your actions will be aligned with your principles (you’ll understand your brand)
