Events Recorded Webinars Watch the recording: Self Confidence and Advocacy Webinar Self Confidence and Advocacy Speaking up for yourself or someone you love seems to come easy for some people but is desperately difficult for others. Often after a challenging conversation, we feel deeply frustrated, knowing what we wish we'd said, hearing the clear, eloquent and confident words in our head, but it's too late. This webinar is designed to help you find the confidence and the words when you need them. We will discuss strategies that help you relax in conversations or email interactions, pausing to get across what you wish to say in a courteous but convincing and effective manner About Lesley Howells Lesley Howells is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and the Lead Psychologist for the Better Together project.
