A simple, pragmatic, and honest appraisal of how the conditioning of your past, may have impacted your confidence.

When we think about confidence or lack thereof, we focus on dealing with the symptoms rather than the cause.

Focusing on the symptoms is like papering over the cracks or sticking plaster over an open wound.

No one is born lacking confidence; we all come into this world with a growth mindset and constantly fail while we learn to walk and talk. So, what changes?

Through her upbringing, personal experiences and research, Yvonne explores the great expectations put upon us and the conditioning you may have encountered that could have impacted your confidence.

Yvonne then provides practical ways to recondition your thoughts, take back control and regain your confidence for good.

Early Reviews

"This book is excellent. The evidence presented in it is well-contextualised and easily translatable." Jamil Qureshi - TED-X and World Recognised Speaker, Performance Coach and Author of The Mind Coach

"An easy read, and a great reference to carry around with you. Loved the use of characters to describe how we both help and hinder our progress, makes it easy to understand and to become more aware of our behaviours and where we want to direct our focus." Charlotte Graham-Cumming - CEO, Ice Blue Sky

"As a first-time author, Yvonne must be commended on the way she has taken her personal experiences and lessons learned from her interactions with others, to deliver semi autobiographical perspective on how a persons journey through life can hardwire unintended behaviours that affect how they will engage with current and future opportunities in life." Colin Williams - Business Line CTO, Computacenter

"This is a short, snappy book that gets straight to the point. I found the short sections easy to navigate and was prompted to think about the conditioning I've had, what impact it has on me now and the relevance to how I'm bringing up my own daughter." Rebecca Monk - Chief People Officer, Softcat Plc

"I enjoyed reading Conditioning Kills Confidence! The characters of conditioning, caution, and confidence were so vividly drawn that I could relate them to real-life interactions making the book so relatable and impactful. The insights shared and reflection questions provided an opportunity to dig a little deeper and work on identifying our individual superpowers!"
Jacquie Rives - Community Lead & Program Director, The Channel Company

"As Yvonne would say, I had "Great Expectations" of this book, and it certainly did not disappoint. It's an excellent read, and I'd highly recommend it. "Conditioning Kills Confidence" is written in such a way that it takes a complex and emotive subject and breaks it down to be both manageable and relatable, whilst also providing some concrete steps to help the reader take positive action. I saw myself in much of the material, and I also saw a development path that the book helped me to identify. I believe that this book will be of genuine value in my personal and professional journey." - Anthony Tripyear - Director, StarTech.com

"Yvonne wonderfully brings to life that niggling feeling you have always had but could never quite articulate. She gives you the "why" to every time you have held yourself back, not taken that leap or not said what you really wanted to say. By helping you understand this, she also helps you free yourself from this conditioning, step into who you really are, believe in your uniqueness and own your own strength." - Leah Russell - Alliance Director
