Summary

My six-year-old son will approach the person behind the counter at the grocery store and ask, "Do you have anything for kids?" At the doctor's office, he'll ask, "Do you have any candies?" He doesn't break eye contact and his voice is steady, without a shred of insecurity, and it works. People give him things everywhere he goes. This is the power of confidence in action, and it's remarkable to watch. I don't take credit for it, he came out this way; but I have come to believe that confidence is a skill that can be learned. Since confidence is a meta-skill that makes pretty much all other skill acquisition easier, this is something we should all train regularly.

On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll meet a woman who wrote the book, Confidence Creator. Her story and her no-nonsense approach can serve anyone at any age
