Projecting confidence – how to fake it until you make it

Date: 25/06/2025
2pm BST (1 hour)

Confidence is a funny old thing, there’s no way to tell if somebody is confident or not until they show you. And that’s where faking it can come in really handy.

So ask yourself, do you ever feel like…

  • Everyone else in the room has it all sorted (except you)?
  • Your brilliant ideas get overlooked in meetings?
  • You’re just waiting to be found out as a bit of a fraud?
  • Your body language gives away all your inner wobbles?

Let’s bridge that gap between where you are and where you want to be.

What you’ll take away:

Join our down-to-earth session where you’ll discover:

  • The Psychology Behind Confidence – Why “faking it” actually works (it’s backed by science, honestly!)
  • Body Language Tips – Simple tweaks that help you come across as more self-assured
  • Finding Your Voice – How to sound convincing even when you’re feeling anything but.

Join a friendly 60-minute webinar that could change how you show up in the world.

Who should attend?

Anyone who wants to feel more comfortable in tricky situations, have more impact, and stop the constant second-guessing. Whether you’re networking, giving presentations, or just want to speak up more in meetings.
