CONFIDENCE MATTERS.
Changing Teens’ Inner Voices with Better Choices
DW has dedicated his life to teaching the importance of having confidence. Survey after survey show that lack of self-confidence ranks as one of the top problems teens and young adults face today. As they juggle school, careers, communicate on social media, forge relationships, and deal with a global pandemic, these challenges are taking a toll. Unresolved confidence issues are resulting in academic problems, employee disengagement, bullying, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and more. The statistics are staggering, and the problem is growing.
The solution is a process created by DW to help teens and young adults learn what they need to do to manifest confidence that is already within them. They walk away from his One-Man Show with HOPE.
