Our Research Mission

We are utterly obsessed with creating confident humans. This has created a deep-rooted drive to continually learn about the impact low confidence has on individuals and organisations; both via our own research and in collaboration with established research institutions.

Our findings paint a vivid picture of the true cost low individual self confidence has on personal, professional and business growth; including team motivation and behaviour, personal happiness and mental health and costly financial limitations. 

If you want to discuss our findings in more depth, please get in touch.
