"...every time I hear your CD, a bit more sinks in."

"I am so impressed with the CD that I purchased one of your tapes for my partner. He hasn't yet had an opportunity to listen to it but I am sure it will be useful for him. Sincere thanks for putting your free course on the web, it's the most useful way of looking at things that I've heard in years- it actually HELPS and your advice makes good sense. There is a lot in it and every time I hear your CD, a bit more sinks in."

"Thanks"

"...the exercises help it all to actually sink-in & register"

"I just want to thank you guys so much for being true to your word. I have been looking for something to help me work through to the point of confidence but as you guessed it constantly ended up in 'self-help -'just think postitive'- hell' I found that I became more & more dependant on others approval & a 'positive' door mat! But thanx to your course...your FREE course I might add which should be worth thousands!:)...I am now able to take the next steps into my new found confidence."

"Since the first tutorial I did exactly as you instructed writing notes, re-reading them & doing all the exercises (I also ordered the CD which I did find extremly helpful as well)..and when I looked back to read my notes from the beginning it was almost as if I was reading a story and watching someone grow & change. My comments near the end of the 6 weeks were different and much more powerful than my beginning 'wants'. I have found that almost all of my original exercise hopes have and are coming to reality."

"I feel awesome & my husband & I are even closer because I can stand on my own instead of leaning on him. He has noticed a change in me & comments that he finds it very attractive:) The funny thing is that I already knew a lot of the things in the course but for some reason the exercises help it all to actually sink-in & register ya know?:)...I could probably write several pages on all I've learnt but I think you get the idea. Thanks again & keep up the awesome job:) "

"P.S. I just wanted you to know that one of the things that made me choose your website was that you were willing to let me try the course for free & get results. I appreciated your integrity in that you actually seemed genuine in your want to help others be the best they can:) And I think anyone serious about changing will order the CD when they see how effective your tutorials are:)"

"...want to combat the root of the problem not just keep curing the symptoms"

"Roger"

"I have completed the 2 tasks. I will be honest I did at first think what was the point, but after doing it. I have started thinking about my answers more and more. I look forward to the 2nd tutorial next week. My CD's arrived this morning so I will be listening to them this evening too. I would also like to thank you for recommending the depression website (www.clinical-depression.co.uk), I found it absolutely superb."

"A lot of what was mentioned and explained, very well might I add, related to the way I feel. I was depressed a few years ago and took tablets, which made me better. I am now again depressed and want to combat the root of the problem not just keep curing the symptoms. Just reading the 2 websites has made me feel better, well for now anyway. I would like to thank you greatly!"

"...it has made me aware about how much time I spend worrying unnecessarily."

"Many thanks for the course. I have also bought and received your CD pack which I have just started listening to. I found your course very useful and it has made me aware about how much time I spend worrying unnecessarily. I enjoyed the simple exercises which are helping me to develop positive thinking habits. The course has also made me realise how empowering it is to be able to have faith in myself and abilities."

"Thank you very much! "

"...it has helped me put my life into some perspective..."

"Dear Roger,"

"I have tried out your course and I feel it has helped me put my life into some perspective-just by making me think about the questions I never thought I could answer. It's the kind of help that you can keep referring back to and which will give you that extra boost when you need it the most. This I feel is enough encouragement to make the difference! I have also bought the cd as reinforcement to the course."

"I would like to say thank you for all your help and it just seems strange how I came across the course on the Internet, just when I needed it most!"

Thanks again,

"I did notice a difference in the way I handled people and situations."

"Things have been going OK since I finished the Self Confidence Course. I bought the Trainer CD set at the same time, and it was very good to do both at the same time. I did notice a difference in the way I handled people and situations."

"At a recent camp I observed how special I felt when a woman came and in quite a deliberate fashion sat herself beside me during a tea break and began a conversation. I've always been petrified of approaching a stranger and making conversation, and would walk around trying to spot someone I already knew well. This time I used the modelling technique, and each tea break chose a different woman to sit beside in the same deliberate "I've chosen you" fashion. Every one of them were pleased and chatted amiably, and several times I hit on a subject that had them actually turn in their seats with eyes alight. It was a wonderful reinforcing experience. Thanks!"

"The cd is excellent and I am impressed by the solid and realistic manner in which advice is given."

"I have really found the course valuable. I have already bought the confidence trainer cd and I have therefore lagged a bit behind with the tutorials. I will work my way through the rest of the tutorials as well. The cd is excellent and I am impressed by the solid and realistic manner in which advice is given. I realise that confidence in certain areas of your life does not happen overnight and that I need to practice the thinking techniques as advised. I have found the relaxation exercises very beneficial and will definitely keep on using them."

"I would recommend this course to anyone, bearing in mind your advice
that one has to make an effort to see the full rewards. I do not really have any criticisms. I do not think you can do more that what you are doing. The rest is definitely up to the individual."

"Kind regards,"

"Today I went to the people involved and was able to talk confidently and masterfully about the issues."

"Hello,"

"Just wanted to let you know that I have recently been sufferring from a lack of confidence at work, resulting in symptoms such as physical loss of voice as well as being lost for words, blushing, wondering what others are thinking of me etc. I have recently been listening to your CD and trying some of the techniques. Last Friday I went to a meeting and felt as though I was treated badly. Today I went to the people involved and was able to talk confidently and masterfully about the issues. I used in particular the association technique from the hypnosis excercise and it really wors for me!"

" Thank you!"

"Even though I only had the Trainer for a couple of days, it was a huge help to me for the audition."

"I finished your 6 week course about 10 days ago. I decided to order the Trainer and received it a couple of days before I was to take an orchestral audition last week (I am a professional musician). I have been suffering from low self-confidence and self-esteem all my life. I also have suffered from severe stage fright and it just seemed to get worse over the last few years. Even though I only had the Trainer for a couple of days, it was a huge help to me for the audition (in addition to the Course too). I was able to relax and not focus so much on myself and the audition. I didn't win but I played better than I have on an audition in a very long time. I didn't have the horrible anxiety that I usually get. I am so thrilled. I'm continuing to listen to the Trainer daily and feel like my self-confidence is growing every day. Thank you so much for the wonderful course and Trainer. I look forward to the day when I will actually win an audition!"

"Just by listening consistently, I have had phenomenal results in a very short period of time."

"When I was a kid, to say the least, low self-esteem was a daily practice. As a result of the pain I went through back then, I decided to research it as much as possible to see what I could do about it. I would have to say that I did pretty well. But I would also have to say that it definitely takes time between learning it and applying it. I have been through (as you call it) "self help hell". Which can leave you "stuck" in the affirmations, and addicted to self help books, always looking for that golden egg where sudden enlightenment is supposed to come. The Self Confidence Trainer CDs go past all that -- past the guard standing at the door of the conscious mind. Just by listening consistently, I have had phenomenal results in a very short period of time."

"Actually, I remember feeling better after listening just once. But, as you mentioned, consistent listening allows your own abilities to take over within a few short weeks. You begin to realize that you like the place you're at better than the place were. And this is enough for you to keep reinforcing those feelings at an unconscious level. It has had a tremendous effect on me and I also use them with my acting students. I love the added information on all the downloads and the Self Confidence Trainer is a super resource. I travel to high schools in North and South Carolina, speaking to groups about self esteem, confidence, and motivation."

"I often mention this great company out of the UK called Uncommon Knowledge."

"Your reasoning and arguments were so compelling and reasonable they were easy to assimilate into my thinking process."

"I was so impatient to improve, that I purchased the Trainer pack at the same time I signed up for the online course."

"I lived with the CD for about 10 days and the results were amazing. Your reasoning and arguments were so compelling and reasonable they were easy to assimilate into my thinking process. I work in such a competitive field it s easy to lose your edge.  I still listen to the CD about every month just to refresh my thought process and I'm very pleased with the results. It is brilliant in it's simplicity and effectiveness."

"Thank You."

"Mark's voice is very kind and soothing."

"Dear Roger,"

"I am really enjoying these tutorials! I also ordered the CDs, and spent a happy time yesterday afternoon listening to the three meditations. I felt so much better afterwards, and realised that much of my problem comes from anxiety."

"I especially like the first meditation on the second CD. Mark's voice is very kind and soothing. I found myself getting quite tearful when he talked me into that "safe space." It was like having a big brother gently encouraging me."

Thanks again for making this available to us."

"With very best wishes,"

"The gradual feeling of being in more control through increased confidence at work has been a breath of fresh air."

"Since receiving my CD trainer, I have sat down and using my walkman, listened to it slowly, re-running areas that I had not heard properly and made the notes as I progressed. I did this throughout the week, each evening for an hour or so. As a result, I have found several changes occurring. Firstly, I replaced the large glass of wine or 3 that I was having each evening to "escape", with a session with the CD and found that I didn't need a glass of wine anymore. As a result I lost a few pounds in weight - bonus."

"Secondly, I was suffering a skin problem on my foot that I attributed to stress. This has now all but gone as a result of being more relaxed. And, of course, the gradual feeling of being in more control through increased confidence at work has been a breath of fresh air."

"Another side effect, if you like, has also occurred. I am in the Forces and I would not consider going to a social function without enjoying a few beers, as is the culture. So, I listened to one of the relaxing sessions prior to going out. I then promised myself that I would stick to cokes. I had a throughly enjoyable evening and was able to drive back instead of walking back in the rain. It's early days yet and I continue to listen each evening and sometimes, last thing at night to build on my good start."

"[The Self Confidence Trainer] is now playing a key role in helping me to change my thought patterns and ultimately change the results I have in the past created in my life."

"Hi Roger,"

"I have found the self-condidence trainer very very very useful and beneficial which is now playing a key role in helping me to change my thought patterns and ultimately change the results I have in the past created in my life. I was in a very bad state when I timely came across your self-confidence trainer. I think you should be very proud to have created and be a part of something so meaningful that has helped to impact my life in a positive way more than you will know."
