Many of us experience feelings of being stuck in the wrong life and disconnected from our true selves. Australian mindfulness coach and best-selling author Kate James has coached thousands of clients in similar situations. Now, Kate introduces us to a range of techniques, based on her knowledge of mindfulness, positive psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), creativity and neuropsychology, that will help us clarify our goals, realise our purpose and connect more fully with the wonder of life.

In Quietly Confident, Kate looks beyond the narrow scope of Western culture and paints a broader, more human definition of what it means to have confidence and be 'successful'. In an era that rewards those with the loudest voices (and the most followers), Kate encourages introverts to let go of outdated ideas and beliefs so that they too might shine just as brightly. With a better understanding of introversion's many invaluable gifts and the ability to tap in to our infinite worth, Kate will guide listeners towards the confidence that already exists within each of us.
