Do you or someone you know suffer from imposter syndrome, self doubt or a negative self image?

How has this impacted your life? How many great opportunities have slipped through your hands simply becasue you felt you were not good enough, or you where too timid to speak up becasue of low self worth?

Something happened in your past and you have not been able to get over it. Each time you want to do something new, your past comes back to haunt you. You think you are not good enough, brave enough, intelligent enough etc and this has held you back.

All that can stop now.
