Leadership and business literature is filled with clichés that supposedly help you build confidence. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of these supposed solutions fail to create lasting change for the ambitious professionals they're meant to serve.

In Quick Confidence: Be Authentic, Boost Connections, and Make Bold Bets on Yourself, bestselling author and renowned leadership speaker Selena Rezvani delivers an eye-opening discussion of the 9 common obstacles that stand in the way of building authentic confidence. The book offers digestible tips that include actions, behaviors, and exercises that help you change how you think and the image you project to the people around you.

The author relies on sound, scientifically grounded data to help you zero in on one actionable technique at a time, from taming negative thoughts to making an entrance, stoking confidence in others, moving from a victim mindset to a creator mindset, using silence strategically, and banishing overexplaining. In the book, Rezvani makes the daily work of growing confidence fun and straightforward, showing you how to create new habits that will form the foundation of a confident, authentic version of yourself that stands the test of time.

You'll learn to develop the mental, physical, and interpersonal routines through small, everyday actions that will lock you into behaviors with the potential to propel your confidence--and your career--into the stratosphere.

A life-changing playbook for today's professionals who seek effective and actionable tips to improve their confidence and presence, Quick Confidence will also earn a place in the libraries of established executives looking to sharpen their edge and for anyone trying to eliminate self-doubt for good.
