Your Trainer, Mike McClement

Learn confidence from an expert. Mike’s a leading confidence coach in the UK and an international best-selling author. His book ‘Brilliant Self-Confidence’ is available worldwide in five languages.

His practical techniques have proved that, whatever your situation, confidence really is a skill you can learn and his trusted formula for building self-confidence has helped thousands of people worldwide. What gives Mike his unique edge is his ability to make confidence building manageable, even for people who see the challenge as pretty well impossible.

Mike McClement - Confidence Course Trainer


Only 6 People. That Means Personal, Focused Learning.

Like our face to face training, we guarantee there will only be 6 people on our remote confidence course. Mike can focus on your specific reasons for attending. You can ask questions and get answers from a confidence expert. Everyone attending the sessions will be struggling with confidence in some way. There’s no need to feel anxious or embarrassed. In fact, being with other people who want to tackle self-confidence is helpful in itself. By the end of the two sessions you will have a Personal Confidence Plan. You’ll feel more in control and your personal plan will act as a route marker on your journey to greater self-confidence.

 

A guide to our ‘Come Across With Confidence’ remote training sessions

This ‘Come Across With Confidence’ course is run live by video-link. You will be one of a small group attending (max.6 people in total) who haven’t met each other before. Mike McClement will be running the course. He’ll be able to get to know you and focus on your personal reasons for joining.

The course is run over two sessions, each three hours long. There will be a gap of one day between the two sessions to give you time to reflect and prepare for the next session. The workshop will cover themes common to the group as a whole but there will also be an opportunity to help individuals with specific challenges they are facing.

Here’s a guide showing the structure of the two sessions…

Session 1
 Introduction to workshop and familiarisation with other attendees.
 Understanding your natural style/personality and knowing if it’s hindering your self-confidence.
 Learning how to adapt the way you come across to make a more confident impression.
 Using body language, voice and facial expressions to engage people and have personal impact.
 Dealing with challenging people or situations more confidently and assertively.
 Contributing to work or social meetings confidently and getting people to listen to you.

Session 2
 Considering and being aware of how confident you look and sound to others.
 Dealing with distracting body language or verbal habits.
 Discovering how peoples’ perceptions of you can differ to your own perception.
 Making the very best first impression when you meet someone for the first time.
 Overcoming self-doubt if someone questions your knowledge or ability.
 Staying positive when you feel negative, demotivated or pessimistic.
 Converting nerves or anxiety into positive traits that help rather than hinder you.
 Mapping out a personal confidence action plan.

These topics are not exhaustive. Mike can focus on specifics if you have a particular challenge to address.




Proven Techniques You Can Use Immediately

Whether it’s dealing with challenges at work, speaking in a group or changing job, our courses help you develop the confidence, self-belief, motivation and positivity to start transforming your life straightaway.

Do any of these sound familiar?

 I question my own ability and that stops me doing things.
 I’m conscious that I don’t come across confidently.
 I find it hard speaking in a group and getting people to listen.
 I’ve been away from work and feel anxious about returning.
 I get nervous when I have to do anything new.
 I panic when someone asks me a difficult question, my mind goes blank.
 I worry about what other people think of me.
 I hate being the centre of attention.
 I feel like I’m being taken for granted because I can’t say No to people.

You’re not alone. We will help you.

We’ve made learning to be confident and assertive really manageable. We’ll help you to feel confident on the inside as well as project confidence on the outside.
 

The sessions made a huge difference…

 The two sessions have really made a huge difference – I was on a large Zoom call yesterday and I felt a lot more confident, which was very surprising. I was using your advice to listen and feed off the conversation, which really helped, combined with your words of encouragement.

Is this the right training for you?

We meet a huge range of people of all ages (17 to 70), backgrounds and experience. Some come through work, others fund the training privately. The truth is everyone struggles with confidence on occasions, even those people who look like they’re oozing the stuff. What about you? Is a lack of confidence holding you back from doing the things you want to do? Perhaps you have a challenging situation coming up; a job interview, or speech. Maybe, you lack confidence when dealing with colleagues or socialising. Maybe, it’s just facing every day challenges that you find difficult. Our courses will be suitable for you if you struggle with self-confidence in any aspect of your life. If you’re not sure if our courses are right for you, please call us on 00 44 (0)1364 649155 so we can answer any questions you may have. It’s important to us that you feel happy and comfortable with your choice.

Our Confidence Courses really make a difference

 

 Initially I thought the course was a lot of money but I can honestly say it was money very well spent. It was an excellent course. Really insightful. I’m very pleased I came. It was extremely well run. Mike is a very inspiring person and I hope to apply what he told me to my life.  

Tom Hickson, Private

  It was very well run by Mike who was very warm, engaging and instructive. There was a lot of material which I found easy to absorb. Really liked the practical elements/focus of the course and how to actually apply all this in real life.  

Katherine Woodrow, Butterfly Breeze

  A very engaging course, Mike puts everyone at ease and is very good at applying lessons to our own experiences. I will definitely recommend this course to others in our work.  

James Watt, Centre for Sustainable Energy

  Today was great. I was quite nervous to begin with but my fears were quickly put at ease. Interactive from the start. Mike kept all of the group engaged. I can’t wait to put what I’ve learnt into practice.

FAQ’s about our remote confidence training

How does your booking process work?

Booking our remote Come Across With Confidence course is easy. Please complete the booking form with your details. If you’re from a company, we’ll send you an invoice. If you’re a private individual, we’ll send you a credit card link to confirm your place. If the course is showing as full, just email us on [email protected] and we’ll offer you the opportunity to go on a cancellation list.

What technology do I need to join a remote course?

You’ll need a reliable internet connection. We run our remote training using the zoom app. It’s very easy to use and we’ll send you a joining link and instructions a few days before the first session.

What happens on the remote course? Is there an outline?

The course is informal. It is run live remotely over two sessions, each three hours long. There will be a short break in the middle of each session. There is a one day gap between each session. There is a structure to the sessions but due to the nature of the subject, it isn’t set in stone. As the groups are very small, Mike can focus on specific confidence challenges that arise. That way everyone can get the most from the sessions. Mike addresses the physical side of confidence (body language, voice, assertiveness, communication style) and also the mental side (positive thinking, negativity, self-esteem, self-doubt). If you feel a little anxious about attending, there’s no need to. The others on the course will be coming for similar reasons to you. If you have any doubts if one of our courses is right for you, Mike will be happy to chat to you about your reasons for coming and how he can help you. Please email him ([email protected]) or call on + 44 (0)1364 649155.

What type of people generally attend your remote confidence courses?

We meet a diverse mix of people on our workshops. Some people come through their work and others book privately. There’s no ‘standard’ age range: we’ve helped people who’ve struggled with confidence from the ages of 17 to 71. When it comes to learning confidence, background, age or gender doesn’t matter.

Do I need to complete any pre-course material?

You will be invited to complete a short confidential questionnaire before the first session. This helps Mike to prepare and to ensure the time you spend with him is focused and effective. We’ll also provide you with a handout that acts as a guide as the sessions progress. You can make notes on this to use for reference afterwards. You will also receive free access to our on-line Confidence Academy to continue your learning.

What happens if I need to cancel my place on one of your confidence courses?

You can cancel your place at any time. Cancellation fees may occur. For more information please refer to our terms and conditions.

I have a specific confidence issue to deal with – will there be time to address my concerns during the course?

Yes. This is the main reason we keep the numbers of attendees small on our confidence courses (maximum six people). It makes it possible for Mike to get to know you properly and address a specific confidence issue or difficulty you’re having.
