Learn how to build (or just pretend) to be confident and change your life for the better!! …with confidence, you can get anything you want. But, be warned… it might bring you some things you don’t!
After a lifetime developing and experimenting with his own confidence (how else do you think he got into TV!) and then several years researching ‘confidence’ David Harper has put together a ‘stand up’ show giving hot tips on how to build your confidence and improve your life.
David has spoken at length to many well known celebrities from the world of sport, TV, music, theatre and stage about their own confidence, how they build it, how they maintain it …and crucially, how, when they need to…how they fake it!
The most important key to success, whether in love, war, business, career, or just being able to leave the house…is Confidence!
Anyone can improve and build their confidence – its just knowing the tricks of the trade…this show, through storytelling (success stories and plenty of disasters!) examples from real celebs and famous historical characters (plus lots of lively audience involvement) will give the audience the tools to improve their confidence levels, which in turn improves life and general happiness levels
Everyone will take something away from the show that will help them with their own self-confidence. Some, so much so, they may even go out and buy themselves a pair of bright yellow trousers!
