Reviews for What's Stopping You? Being More Confident: Why Smart People Can Lack Confidence and What You Can Do About It

'Kelsey has produced a thoughtful and easily accessible book. While it will be of interest to a broad audience, its focus on preventing hubris and achieving potential should resonate with managers' (Irish Times, 21st January 2013) '..an excellent book to study, to make your companion and to help you discover what's holding you back and what you could do to improve your situation.' (parentswithouttears.com, January 2013) '...another helpful practical guide for those clear minds who already know what's missing-confidence...all the good decisions and ideas must have a strong base to carry them out; that's what confidence and this book can bring.' (Start Your Business, January 2013) '...admirably broad minded, covering everything from depression to procrastination and calling in almost every philosopher on the market for nuggets of wisdom.' (People Management, February 2013) '...practical, helpful advice' (The Sun, 8th February 2013) 'All good decisions and ideas must have a strong base to carry them out, that's what confidence and this book can bring.' (Start Your Business, February 2013) 'The book has range, depth, integrity and whilst it doesn't threaten you with quizzes or exercises, the congruence of all theories he draws on and the consistency of the message make it worthy of your time.' (HR Zone, June, 2013)
