"Your sessions do work. I can honestly say that this also helped me in my personal life. There are many times that I feel lost and feel sorry for myself and reading the lesson it made me realize that if I don't do things for myself no one will and I will lose the one thing that I have and no one can take is to believe that I am going to be the best that I can be."

"Thank you Roger"

This story came from Nadeen

"Hi,"

"Thank you so much for making a course like this. I really notice a difference within myself just in a few weeks. I used to be scared of the simplest things that I needed to do on a daily basis and now that fear is gone. I wasn't scared to try new things or meet new people. My life is so much more interesting now. Taking your time out to do the confidence exercises really does help. I'm able to accept myself more now."

"Thank you so much. It really was worth it."

This story came from Sana who is from the USA

"Roger,"

Thanks. It is a great thing you are doing. The course helped me have a clearer picture of what a confident person is, and having that picture in itself has brought me closer to achieving my confidence goals. I am going to purchase the cd trainer very soon"

"Thanks again,"

"Kind regards"

Anon.

"This course was just what I needed to give me a boost and get me back on track! After nearly 2 years of negative situations - I really started to believe that it was me & I was completely useless! I'd recommend the course to anyone needing to "get it together" and believe in themselves again!"

"Thank you!"

"Kind regards"

This story came from Jenni who is from Berkshire, UK

"Hi there,"

"I have got a lot more confidence in my self now. I now have the confidence to speak up at the trustees meeting. I am a trustee of a children centre. We have registered as a charity four months and now I get up and speak with all the confidence that I used to have, even though I found out that I could have liver trouble but then I still had the confidence to speak-up when I attended the last meeting."

"Doing the course has help me start to get my confidence back and I have to say a very thank you"

This story came from Mark who is from Barry, Wales

"Hello Roger"

"I was just reading your tips for overcoming shyness saw the request for more tips. One thing I have found is the importance of staying current with information. Keeping up with the latest news in your community, in your field of business, in the world provides a comfortable knowledge base. When the conversation is directed at you, you know enough about the topic to have something relevant to say. You can't focus on the topic of discussion if you don't know anything about the subject!"

"I just finished your self confidence course and found it quite helpful. As a new business owner, I quickly realized that I needed to present myself in a more confident way with potential customers. Though I still have some work to do, I have already seen some improvement in the way I am interacting with customers and with representatives of other companies (sales reps, other small business owners, distributors, etc.). The modelling exercise was particularly useful for me."

"Thanks for your help!"

This story came from Kathy who is from Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA

"I have found the self-confidence 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."

"Kind Regards"

This story came from Anon from Leeds, W Yorks

"Dear Roger,"

"I want to thank you for your on-line course. It has been a major factor in reaffirming my self confidence. I didn't know exactly how successful I have really been. I don't get down and out all the time because of my inability to do certain things. I accept now that there are areas of my life that I deal with very well. I make mistakes, and I deal with them now right away knowing that this is the way to success. I am more willing to venture out in new areas of interest. Learning new things is an adventure for me."

"I am a director on a board and have more confidence in speaking on issues and giving my opinion. I feel that I can give more input to our meetings now that I have this extra boost of confidence. Again thank you for your very helpful tutorial. It is much appreciated."

"Sincerely"

This story came from Andra from New River Beach, N.B. Canada

"Thanks a million for the fantastic short course. You made me think laterally ... I had never thought this way, and the results were fantabulous!!!"

"I would like to know more about such confidence building ventures, which you might carry out in future. I frankly cannot afford your CD. Yet I would like to thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making me realize my real self."

"Best Regards"

This story came from Rajeev

"Dear Roger Elliott,"

"I'm very grateful for the help you've extended for thousands like me, believe it or not, I've started noticing changes within myself even before I've gone through the whole course; beyond doubt I'm sure I'll be as strong as I used to be before, or GOD favors', even stronger."

"Yours' truly,"

This story came from Peter

"I think it is great that you are providing this free on-line self confidence course. It certainly shows that you are purely interested in helping others, which is very commendable."

The ideas have been very encouraging for me and I have used a few of the exercises that you have provided me with over the last few weeks. I particularly liked the hypnosis script in the last week and the idea of modelling. I did visualise many positive images of myself acting the way I wanted to in certain uncomfortable situations, which felt great and has continued to influence me since. I have visited your web-site too, which was just as helpful and inspiring."

"I am interested in ordering the accompanying confidence trainer pack and will post my order and cheque to Uncommon Knowledge LLP in the week."

"Many thanks,"

This story came from Kelly who is from Carshalton, Surrey, England

"Hello Roger,"

"This is Kathy. I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help and input during this teaching. I greatly appreciate it. I would like to buy the teaching tape, but I am a fulltime student and have no money coming in. I am keeping your e-mail address so that later on when I have money I can get it later. I just want you to know that this course has helped me very much."

"I do not really understand how or why, but it has given me the courage and determination to do some of the things that I am still afraid to do. Anything that I use to be afraid of I would just avoid before. That kept me from going back to college when I got out of high school, and from doing other things I would have liked to do. Well guess what? I am enrolling in an LPN course, that is a Licensed Practical Nursing program."

"I am still afraid that I will fail at this, but I am going to try my very best at it anyway. I am facing my fears one step at a time. From now on I am going to do the things in my life that I want to do, no matter how terrified they make me. It seems more like an attitude change towards things than anything else."

"Again I just want to say thank you, and let you know that you have changed my attitude and my life for the better."

"Please keep in touch. Your friend forever."

"Gratefully Yours,"

This story came from Kathy who is from Little Rock, Arkansas

"Hello Roger,"

"I am writing to you in response to your recent e-mail. I have really enjoyed your course and the many little aha effects it has given me e.g. how other people have modelled the people who bore the characteristics that they wished for themselves. In addition just to paraphrase another part of the course a way to gain confidence is to push out onto the outer edge of the envelope."

"I have found myself moving forward and growing all the time and this has been down to good people such as yourself and the other avenues of self improvement. I have made the decision to do many of the things I have been putting of for years i.e. going to Australia to watch rugby league, swim with dolphins and check the Aussie tottie up close. There are lots of other things I want to do but it feels great to be moving again. If you have ever seen the film 'The Wall' I felt like the little lad surrounded by the wall, I am now in the position to say that I am on top of the wall and I am climbing out to get all the things the world has got to offer me."

"I would like to end this short letter by saying thankyou for all your time and help. I hope you find an easy path to your next chosen level."

"Best wishes"

"P.S. I would love to be able to suggest a way that you could improve your course but alas I cannot. I would be interested in hearing more about your trainer pack."

"Thanks!"

This story came from Nikka who is from Cleveland, Australia

"Hi Roger,"

"I found the self-confidence course invaluable. I have suffered with low self-esteem and low self-confidence for years, and have often been afraid to express my ideas, views, thoughts etc. The course helped me to find the 'real' me - and even after the first couple of modules, I noticed I had rediscovered a side of me which hadn't shown through in years. I have found happiness through self-confidence - thanks to your wonderful course."

"Thank you again. Your program is truly life-changing."

This story came from Darren Bristol who is from the UK

"Hello!"

"First of all let me take this opportunity to thank you for the efforts you made to make me what I am now. The course has really boosted my self confidence and now I can control myself in areas of public speaking. I really loved the part of learning from those that I admire when they speak in public."

"Currently I'm working with a research firm as a field interviewer and I'm really doing well and I'm seeing it as a miracle. Your course is well organized and soon I'm introducing a good number of my friends to do the course."

"Otherwise thanks again for what I am today and you will always be my unseen friend, bye."

This story came from Justa who is from the UK

"Dear Roger,"

"I found the course very interesting but was rather sceptical at first as I have tried several different ways of trying to overcome my problem. The content seemed to be based on common sense but were things I had not really thought about in any depth before, eg noticing the behaviour of people who appear to be very confident. It put a new perspective on things for me. I also used the tutorials in conjunction with those on panic attacks and together they have definitely made a difference for me."

"I was recently on a course where I had to introduce myself, which I would previously have found extremely uncomfortable, but this time I managed to cope with the situation fairly well, which is a big step for me. Thanks for your help."

"Best regards"

This story came from Fiona who is from the USA

"Dear Roger"

"I've just completed the Self Confidence Course and it was irreality. It is taking effect. The course has really consolidated the work I had been doing. I feel more confident and relaxed in all aspects of my life. Thank you so much for your help, and I have recommended above mentioned courses to friends who I think would benefit from it too."

"Best regards"

This story came from Tatjana

"I just completed the course. I feel a lot better than I did when I initially signed up. It put a lot of things into perspective for me and has encouraged me to focus on sorting and working through one item at a time."

"Thank you,"

This story came from Trina who is from Ontario, Canada

"Hello and a very big thankyou."

"During the time of your emails I have moved out of my comfort zone and have made a move. I was surviving along life's road, but now I'm travelling I'm out in the scary world and having a real life I have only made a few changes but I'm planning more. Thank you so very much. I didn't really know I wasn't living, yes I did, but I just didn't want to face it."

"This is from someone that didn't even like going as far as the letter box. I'm now getting ready for a trip over seas. Yes I said over seas! Thank you so very much"

This story came from Sheryl who is from Tasmania, Australia

"Hi Roger,"

"Thank you very much for giving me this confidence or in other words a new life. It was really a great course which make me feel a totally different. Before this course I was asked to give a presentation in class. During presentation no one was hearing my words instead they were looking at me and smiling which make me more confused."

On Wednesday I was again asked to give a presentation in class. I saw that everyone start smiling in such a way that they are going to have fun in the class. During presentation I feel that everyone was interested to hear my words instead of looking at me. My presentation ended with claps."

"Thank you Roger. I think you are equally involved in this success."

This story came from Adeel

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the first lesson on how to gain more confident, I can't wait for the next one, I've read a lot of self help books, but this course gets straight to the point."

" Thanks again, I look forward to the next 5 weeks, and to the rest of my life, with a lot more confidence, I never knew that you could learn how to be more confident, there are so many things I've never tried because I lacked confidence, like ask a girl I really liked out on a date, because of fear, etc. Thank you for sending these to my email box."

"Kind regards,"

This story came from David who is from New South Wales, Australia

"Thank you very much for the informative free course on self confidence. After reading and studying the course I believe my confidence level is higher than what it was earlier."

"I am rather a shy and nervous person. In all the positions I have held in the past and my present job one of my main duties is to do presentations. Your course has given me guide line to get over some of my weakness. I will keep them in record and refer to them when I need them. Once again thank you for the free course."

This story came from Chandra who is from Nagercoil, South India

"Hi Roger"

"Thank you so much for your concern, it shows your dedication. Things have been going very well actually, I have "stood" up to my mother and basically asked her to change her language around me and stop putting me down. She was somewhat shocked but it worked. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to hold my head high."

"This has also worked to my benefit in my career and my confidence therein. I am a pastry chef and I always feel as though I have to prove myself and I always feel as though I need the praise, well now the praise comes from inside because I know I am good. Please keep doing what you are doing. Thanks again"

This story came from Ann who is from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

"Dear Roger"

"I have found the course very interesting and advantageous. Some of the strategies you exposed me to were revision that I think we all need to do consistently, and others were new to me. I have believed in the importance of self esteem for many years and I thank technology for the opportunity we all have to access this life enhancing information."

"I think courses such as this should be part of every child's education. This would go a long way towards the development of balanced and positive adult. Thankyou for the opportunity to participate in the course, I will be recommending it to my friends."

This story came from Bailey who is from Queensland, Australia

"Hi!"

"I started doing the confidence course a few months ago now and have just completed it. I would like to say thank you! I have recently overcome depression and this course was just what I needed to help me to monitor my positive progression and help me feel better about myself."

"I would recommend the course to anyone who is feeling a bit low about themselves or is lacking in confidence for whatever reason, after all, what have you got to lose?!"

This story came from Laura Edie

"Sir,"

"This week I realised my self confidence has improved. In most situations before I took this course I wouldn't have the confidence to voice my opinion. I know in nearly all situations I try to speak my mind. It has also given me a lot more motivation. I speak to colleagues more openly about my feelings. I realised what goals I would like to achieve in life. I will achieve my goals in life no matter how long it takes. "

This story came from Crystal who is from London, England

"Sir,"

"I am a professor teaching in the post grad. level management institutes. I teach subjects pertaining to industrial psychology like organizational behavior, change management, communication skills etc. I also work as a counselor for individual patients and an industrial consultant."

"The information I gained from you has helped me integrate some of the stuff I teach in workshops where I help students to get rid of their stage fright and help them develop their self-confidence. Basically I help them through meditation and NLP. Your course gave me further insight in both areas. Thank you once again sir."

This story came from Rashmi who is from Maharashtra, India

"Just a short note to say thank you for such a wonderful course. It's only been six weeks and already I can see the difference in my life. Admittedly, there are areas that still require some work but in time I will get there, of that there is no doubt. I have at least the confidence to confront the things that have been holding me back from enjoying a fruitful and wholesome lifestyle, I've made a start and that in it self feels good."

"Your advice and knowledge has had a huge impact in that regard. I will be getting the trainer pack to continue my learning, you'll hear from me soon. Please keep me informed of courses."

"urs with thanks and respect"

This story came from Peter who is from Manchester, England

"Dear Roger"

"Thank you so much for taking me through the Self Confidence Course. Believe me, it works."

"By Tutorial 4 I was able to do all those things that I thought were impossible for me to do. And I know that life will not be as hell as it has been for me before I started on this Course. Now I can face any day without any fear. Something I never dreamed I could do. Thank you very much."

Judith, Kabale, Uganda

"Hi Roger"

"Thanks very much for part five. Just as a little feedback I started this course as I am not a confident person so I needed to do something about it. I am so glad that I found your site (and just in time) as I had been given a presentation to do in front of my managers and I had never had the courage to do this type of thing before and didn't think I could pull it through."

"Anyway after reading your course suggestions and taking on other personas and concentrating on other things apart from myself I finally managed to do this presentation with courage and charisma (I even made my audience laugh with a couple of jokes). "

"I could never have carried it out without the help of your course. Brilliant!"

This story was written by John Williams who is from the UK

"Hi Roger,"

"Sorry I haven't replied. I've been away for 5 days to the Glastonbury Festival. Only just got back. Thanks for sending me lesson 6. I need to catch up on the last lesson as I have been quite busy with an NVQ course as well as work and going away."

"So far though the course has been excellent and I thank you for sending it free to me. It has helped me so much with the presentation that I had to give for my NVQ and helped to allay my fears about it. The advice about taking my mind off myself is especially helpful."

"Thanks once again Roger for a very good course."

"I'd just like to say thanks for the 6 week course. The techniques helped me a lot as I had been trying to improve my confidence for a while but nothing really worked. Thankyou!"

"Dear Roger,"

"Thankyou so much for setting up the self-confidence course. I feel privileged to have been able to pluck up enough courage to take part and I have seen astonishing results in myself as well as my abilities."

"Since signing up for the first tutorial, I have accomplished tasks which before scared me to even contemplate doing them."

"Two months ago, I would never have gone for the job I wanted, stood up for what I truly believed in and most of all attended a meeting where I had to stand up and speak in front of people. Yet since joining your course, I now have the job I have always dreamed of and I am gaining a larger social circle."

"Due to my career choice, I have to meet new people daily and over the past six weeks I found it so much easier to do because for once I believe in myself. I have gained all of this self-esteem and confidence from your course."

"There are not enough words in the English dictionary which could sum up all the gratitude I feel for you and your team.Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Yours faithfully, Mel

"Dear Mr. Elliott,"

"Thank you very much for your self-confidence training course free of cost. It was really an excellent material."

"Before the course I used to feel, my life is pre-destined & I can do nothing to change it. But after your training course, I've realised that, YES, I can change my life. I'm working on it."

"I once thank you very much for providing such a useful material at free of cost."

" Hi Roger,"

"Thank you very much for giving me this confidence or in other words a new life. It was really a great course which make me feel totally different."

"Before this course I was asked to give a presentation in class. During presentation no one was hearing my words instead they were looking at me and smiling which make me more confused."

"On Wednesday I was again asked to give a presentation in class. I saw that everyone start smiling in such a way that they are going to have fun in the class. During presentation I feel that everyone was interested to hear my words instead of looking at me. My presentation ended with claps."

"Thank you Roger. I think you are equally involve in this success."

"Your course has certainly helped build my self-confidence. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. I hope and am sure of your success in your business, too."

"Thanks for your course. I improved a bit and I am more confident now. I still have to continue to improve but now I'm on the right track."

"Now I believe that I can do it and that I can improve myself. I managed to ask girl out, who I want to ask out for a very long time. It did not go well because she was dating someone else and I realized how stupid I was not to ask her the first time I meet her."

"However I was satisfied because I had the courage to do it. Now I know that if I meet another one I wont be afraid of her and make a move at the right time."

"Also I am feeling more relaxed when I talk to my friends and I am opening up. I am starting to share my feelings and thought with them which before I was not doing because I was afraid to talk to them about certain things."

"Thankyou for your advice & help over the past 6 tutorials ! I agree with you when you say that there is a part of yourself that is, at a sub-conscious level, confident, the part that lets you down is the `surface` part of you!"

"It is only when you become `aware` of the confidence there that you can truly become yourself and live life according to your true potential!!! THANKYOU for allowing me the opportunity to see the truth !!!!!"

"I am just writing to say the course is fantastic although it is something I have to work at to keep my self esteem levels up. Hopefully in time it will be automatic."

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead a normal life."

"Thank you so much for the Self Confidence Course."

"What I can say is that it has helped me to wake up my senses. My mother passed away early last year and the whole year was just stagnant for me, but as soon as I read your 1st Tutorial, all I had to do was remember how I was when I was younger--always eager to do anything and try out. "

"So I tried being that person again, and it helped me from the very beginning. My confidence kept building up as went through the Tutorials. I am now taking up Interior Decorating, which I was always interested in, but didn't have the courage to attend a class. Another surprise was that I could sketch! I have the genes, it just needs to be tapped."

"Thanks for waking me up, I needed the boost. I highly recommend your course and the best of luck to you."

"Hi Roger"

"My sincere thanks for the free course. It really helped. It has made me realise that we already have self confidence, we just have to bring it out."

"Thanks again"

"I have to tell you that my life has given at least a 180º turn. Before my mind would go blank every time I had to give a speech in front of a class or meet someone new. Now, I'm ready for any challenge that comes in my way."

"I've realized that nobody is perfect so, I should not push myself too hard, punish myself for not being what my close relatives want me to be."
