“If you don’t learn to control your emotions, your emotions will control you!” Studies reveal that 85% of people suffer from a lack of self-confidence, while 70% admit to experiencing imposter syndrome at work. This draining negative self-talk leads to procrastination, creates unnecessary stress, and wastes valuable time and energy. Negative self-talk also creates resistance to change as employees struggle with uncertainty and convince themselves they can’t learn new skills or adapt to the changes facing them. A lack of self-confidence can lead to toxic work environments, demotivated employees, and unnecessarily high employee turnover rates. A lack of focus leads to excessive “squirrel brain” at work – contributing to even more stress and creating an enormous drain on productivity. Conversely, when employees learn to be more confident and focus their thoughts, they will be happier, more innovative, and far more productive. They’ll communicate with greater confidence and clarity. They’ll experience far less stress. And they’ll be more likely to step up as a leader on their teams. And when your employees gain more confidence and focus, the impact will be felt throughout your team, and ultimately, your entire organization! Nathalie’s THINK Yourself® CONFIDENT keynote is engaging, fun and informative.

People don’t leave their job. they leave the boss they don’t respect or the co-worker that drives them nuts! Demotivated employees and high employee turnover rates are extremely costly.

Whether they belong to the marketing, accounting, production or sales department, everyone in your organization is involved in selling. You can have the best product or offer the most outstanding services, but if you don’t know how to sell them, your business is not going to survive.
