"We created this course for young Filipino professionals who are not as confident as they are competent. We believe that they deserve to be recognized for their talent!

 

Like them, we have experienced feeling small in front of higher-ups. By consistently working on our skills, we eventually became confident enough and became executives at a young age… without losing our true selves."

Richard Estrella, MPP

Course Instructor

“Typical courses on this subject will give generic rules about posture, voice, and gestures for learners to sound like a newscaster or an inspirational speaker.

 

True self-confidence is not about being a showstopper; it is about being anchored from within. CCM is designed to teach learners what authentic confidence is and how to achieve it."
