Strengths-based Approach
Improves your confidence, direction, hope, and kindness towards others. “Those
with higher
self-confident
levels at a younger age ended up with higher income and career satisfaction 25 years later.
($12,821 more annually and that number only got larger as they got older). The group that reported with low self-confidence levels at the beginning in 1979 had
three
times as many health problems 25 years later compared to those who had high levels of self-confidence.” –Tom
Rath
& Barry Conchie
