From the Inside Flap

Leadership and business literature is filled with clichés that supposedly help you build confidence. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of these supposed solutions fail to create lasting change for the ambitious professionals they’re meant to serve.

In Quick Confidence: Be Authentic, Boost Connections, and Make Bold Bets on Yourself, bestselling author and renowned leadership speaker Selena Rezvani delivers an eye-opening discussion of the 9 common obstacles that stand in the way of building authentic confidence. The book offers digestible tips that include actions, behaviors, and exercises that help you change how you think and the image you project to the people around you.

The author relies on sound, scientifically grounded data to help you zero in on one actionable technique at a time, from taming negative thoughts to making an entrance, stoking confidence in others, moving from a victim mindset to a creator mindset, using silence strategically, and banishing overexplaining. In the book, Rezvani makes the daily work of growing confidence fun and straightforward, showing you how to create new habits that will form the foundation of a confident, authentic version of yourself that stands the test of time.

You’ll learn to develop the mental, physical, and interpersonal routines through small, everyday actions that will lock you into behaviors with the potential to propel your confidence―and your career―into the stratosphere.

A life-changing playbook for today’s professionals who seek effective and actionable tips to improve their confidence and presence, Quick Confidence will also earn a place in the libraries of established executives looking to sharpen their edge and for anyone trying to eliminate self-doubt for good.

For anyone (and everyone) who has doubted themselves at a high-stakes moment (or on the daily)- Quick Confidence is just the shot of inspiration and action we need. Selena overdelivers (again and again) with insight, wisdom and humor by sharing relatable stories, a healthy dose of vulnerability and most importantly- action packed strategies that work!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing work book
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2023
I derived immense satisfaction from reading Quick Confidence: Be Authentic, Boost Connections, and Make Bold Bets on Yourself by Selena Rezvani. In my estimation, Rezvani's prowess as a writer shines through as she deftly crafts a self-help book that strikes a perfect balance between conciseness and efficacy when it comes to building confidence. The book's title aptly encapsulates its contents, as the author dispenses quick yet actionable insights, while placing significant emphasis on the pivotal role of self-awareness in navigating assertively through situations that may have previously posed challenges.

One notable aspect that deserves acclaim is Rezvani's writing style, which renders the book highly accessible and engaging. The author delves straight into the heart of the matter, offering practical advice for personal development that yields palpable results. Throughout the book, Rezvani reinforces her points with relatable examples and incorporates exercises that readers can readily apply to their own lives. Her infectious enthusiasm and ability to inspire readers to take decisive action in cultivating self-esteem and enhancing overall well-being are truly remarkable.

A particularly captivating facet of the book is the introduction of the "Dog Code," a simple yet thought-provoking method for fostering confidence. Rezvani draws insightful parallels between observing dogs and their unwavering approach to human interaction, offering invaluable lessons that we can glean from them. Selena Rezvani's dynamic writing style, coupled with her vibrant approach and relatable examples, make Quick Confidence a genuinely pleasurable read. I wholeheartedly recommend immersing oneself in the pages of this book for those seeking to elevate their self-esteem and embrace a greater sense of empowerment.

That’s the question I keep asking myself as I read this new classic. It’s an insightful and accessible antidote to not feeling enough, and helps you find the courage to do your best work. My favorites? The why and how of unapologetic explanations, and the power of strategic silence. I’ve found myself recommending it to new grads and leaders alike. And I’ve found myself coming back to it for reminders already.

I liked that the book was written in an easy and friendly, yet authoritative way. There’s regular encouragement that is supportive and affirms what you deserve. My favourite feature of the book are sample scripts that can be used. It’s so helpful to be told what to do and why, but it is all the more helpful when the words are there as examples or inspiration. Highly recommend!!
