I want to ask you a quick question. What is it that you want to be doing in your life right now but aren't? Maybe you want to be more expressive. You want to put yourself out there when it comes to your music or dance or art. Maybe you want to be more bold or assertive with people. Want to be able to start conversations with people you don't know or approach someone to see if there's a chemistry there to go on a date. Maybe you want to be more direct and honest and clear with the people in your life, whether it's co workers or your boss or even your intimate partner or lover. Or maybe you want to follow your passion at a higher level. It's just sitting there on the shelf collecting dust. Or you want to turn a dream that you have into a project that you're making progress on every day. So you have these ideas, you have this thing that you want to do, but you're not. And you're capable, you're motivated, you're intelligent, and as Les Brown would say, there's greatness within you. But. But you're not taking action. Why not? Well, the same reason that any of us don't take action on something is fear. Fear of what if I try it and doesn't work out? What if I fail? What if people look at me and look at my end product and they think it sucks? And then I'm judged and I'm ridiculed and they're all going to laugh at me? What if I'm not good enough? That's the fear that holds us back. And that fear causes you to inhibit yourself and hold back and play small and live in a cage. And I'm so passionate about this because I spent a decade of my life living in that cage. And for those of you who don't know me, I'm Dr. Aziz. I'm the founder of the center for Social Confidence here in Portland, Oregon. And I spent over a decade of my life stuck in shyness and self doubt and social anxiety. I couldn't talk to people. I didn't have very good relationships. I certainly wouldn't be talking in front of a group or a camera like this. I was totally inhibited and held back. And I learned through a lot of effort and study and coaching of my own and therapy how to break free of that. And now that's what I do for a living. I'm a clinical psychologist and a confidence coach and I help people from all over the country and the world now to break out of that cage, to Be more confident in themselves. And that's what I want to offer to you here in Portland. It's a one time limited experience. It's a workshop called liberate yourself. How to unleash your power, courage and inner confidence. And I'm so excited about it. It's a three hour action packed workshop where we're going to take you from a place of feeling stuck and shy and not sure how to move forward to really just on fire and taking action. You're going to learn what the levels of social freedom are and how to live at the highest level consistently. That's your center of gravity. You're also going to understand the two major fears that underlie all inaction and holding back and hesitation and how to overcome them. You're going to learn how to generate a sense of courage in your body, physical sense of emotional courage at will. You're also going to learn how to overcome that fear of rejection and embarrassment that holds so many of us back. And this is my favorite part. You're going to learn the skill and the secret of self compassion. We're going to do some powerful techniques to help you not just intellectually think it's a good idea, but actually feel a sense of compassion and love for yourself where you're on your own side. Because no matter how gifted you are, how talented, how motivated, if you're not on your own side, if you're your own worst critic and your own worst enemy, you're never going to put yourself out there. You're never going to reach for that thing because you're always criticizing yourself and keeping a lid on who you are. And that's what this workshop is designed to do, is help you break out of that, to be who you are around others and share your gifts with the world. And so I'm incredibly excited to offer this. It's upcoming here in May in Portland and it's going to be a very limited small workshop to 25 people. Given the space, I wanted to also be able to have some opportunities to do one on one coaching with people in front of the group because we learned so much from that type of interaction. So I wanted to keep it small. So it's just limited to 25 people. And the details are below. You can click below to find out more. It's going to be offered in May. And one final thing, I'm offering it at an insanely low price. You know, when I work with someone one on one in individual confidence coaching right now, people pay me between one to five hundred dollars an hour to do this kind of stuff with them to help them break free. And this workshop is three hours and I want to offer it for $25. I'm just insanely low. And the reason I'm doing that is twofold. One is I've been doing all this stuff all over the Internet and people from different places in New York and stuff, and I want to do something locally here and interact with my community and get back in that way. And secondly, I would like to use you as a guinea pig. I want to try out. I've been doing some really interesting stuff one on one with people and I want to see how it's going to work with the group. It's been having powerful results when I'm doing it one on one, and I want to see what it's like to share this with an entire group. So I'm going to try out some new stuff and really see the impact that it has before I take it to the nationwide level for this workshop. So this is a fantastic opportunity to get in when it's small. It's going to be a win win. I would love to see you there and to hear about your dreams and passions and goals and how we can turn them into a reality. So click below to reserve your spot. Now, the details are below. When it is in May and where it is and all that stuff. And I am incredibly excited. I can't wait for it. And I look forward to meeting you and to seeing you there.
