The Confidence Habit: 7 Core Practices to Turn Self-Doubt into Self-Belief MEMBERS ONLY
Presented by Dr. Cindra Kamphoff, CMPC, PCC
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 | 6:00 PM ET | Virtual
Confidence isn’t fixed. It fluctuates. It rises and falls based on context, role, and pressure. Yet it remains one of the most powerful drivers of performance, well-being, and motivation.
Our National Research Study on Confidence reveals a growing confidence crisis in America — particularly among Gen Z and young Millennials. When confidence is inconsistent, you and your colleagues tend to overthink. You question your value. You hesitate.
In this powerful webinar, you’ll discover the 7 research-backed practices that build durable, sustainable confidence. You will walk away with tangible tools to strengthen your own confidence and create environments where others can thrive — so they can show up fully, lead boldly, and perform at their best no matter the challenge.
You can learn more about The Confidence Habit book at http://www.confidencetools.com/.
Registration to be posted in August.
