The Sunflower Effect Confidence Courses
My Sunflower Effect Courses have worked for hundreds of quiet, shy, and introverted people with confidence issues, through the highly effective confidence system I have developed – the Sunflower Effect.
Many have been struggling to make changes for many years and report the courses quicker and more effective than any other approaches they have tried.
Everyone is individual and has slightly different needs, therefore I provide a wide range of courses for different levels of experience so you can progress at your own pace and in your own way. See my Covid 19 Safeguards
However, as a result of the new restrictions, I have made some changes to my programme. I will be running the Breakthrough and Finding Your Voice Courses as evening zoom courses. I Don't Know What to Say is currently being offered as a zoom daytime course and I may be able to run it also as an evening course on zoom.
Do get in touch to express interest in my zoom or future live courses.
