Course Description
Do you get nervous around other people and don’t know why?
Are you tired of worrying what other people are thinking of you all the time?
Do you feel uncomfortable in group settings, so you ‘fade into the background’?
Wish you could 'mute' the critical voice inside that’s always putting you down?
I know how it feels because I just explained myself a few years ago. All the above issues are what I was going through.
Social situations were extremely awkward for me. I would feel uncomfortable around EVERYONE, and that would cause them to feel uncomfortable around me, which made me want to withdraw even more. I found myself stuck in a low paying jobs I hated but I didn't believe I could do any better or get the jobs I really wanted.
I was too shy to ask anyone on a date so I spent most of my life alone. I was afraid of being judged, afraid of confrontation, and constantly worried what everyone was thinking of me. Having low confidence and social anxiety held me back in just about every way you can imagine.
The worst thing of all though was the feeling of being uncomfortable in my own skin.
If you're like me, you are probably tired of people telling you the answer to all your problems is to "Just be more confident."
If only it were that simple…
Perhaps you have tried a few times to be more confident and for whatever reason it didn't work, now you have given up and believe you were 'born shy'.
I'm here show you social confidence is possible for you. But this time, instead of doing it all by yourself, we are going to do it together.
The good news is, anyone can learn social confidence, and it doesn't matter where you're starting from. Social confidence is not some exclusive club you are born into, anyone can join. Whether you want just a little more confidence and to like yourself better, or if you are suffering from a full on social anxiety disorder as I was for many years, you will greatly benefit from the lessons and action steps provide in this course.
------ How I Overcame Social Anxiety, Grew Confidence & Self-Esteem ------------
As best selling author and famous psychologist Nathaniel Branden says, "Confidence and self-esteem is the key to a happy and fulfilling life" and I am going to show you what I did to improve mine, and how you can too!
I am always weary of taking advice from people who haven't been in the situation they are trying to help me with. If you haven't been there and lived through it, you can't really understand what it feels like to have social anxiety and low self-esteem. I found people who hadn't been through it couldn't really relate to my struggles.
They would tell me things like "Just be yourself" and "face your fears," if only it were that simple....
I got the most help on my journey from people who have been through the same situation as me and made it out.
I've been there. I know first hand the problems you face as someone with social anxiety because I have faced them too.
I am going to show you the exact steps I took to grow my self-esteem, and how you can do the same.

If you don't do anything differently to become more socially confident, where will you be 12 months from now? And how about 5 or 10, 20 years from now?

I am a life-transformation coach and best selling author of "How I Overcame Social Anxiety & How You Can Too." My book reached #1 on Amazon.
My self-improvement articles have been featured on huge blogs such as Lifehacker, Lifehack and Pick The Brain.
My life has been full of ups and downs. I am a living proof that you can overcome your biggest fears and achieve anything you want in life as long as you just have the courage to take the first step and not give up.
I spent most of my teens and twenties depressed, lonely and on strong antidepressants. By age 25, I had given up on ever overcoming my social anxiety & shyness.
Even worse than that, I had given up on myself.
I was my own worst enemy, always calling myself harsh names like ‘loser’ and ‘ugly.’
I hated myself and didn’t believe I was worth very much.
I thought I was ‘weak’ and ‘broken’ for having social anxiety and felt inferior to just about everyone in the world.
Like most people, I grew up believing the narrative we are sold by society.
You were born confident or you weren’t. You were good with people or you weren’t. You either have it or you don’t, and I certainly didn’t, better luck next lifetime.
I am here to shatter that myth for you. I am here to show you that you can overcome social anxiety and be anyone you want to be.

Author seems to still have severe anxiety and did not overcame it. Quizzes are not for the ones taking the course but more guiding towards worse results; e.g. first quiz only puts correct answers suggesting the maximum amount of "anxiety" points are reached. Course videos are repetitive and instead of 8 hours it could have been easily turn into a maximum of 1,5 hours. Additionally author has not put much effort when recording said videos. They are inconsistent, he's not presenting himself professionally and the quality is poor.

Tobi is a great teacher, this course offers very actionable exercises and helpful mental frameworks based on his own experience. He speaks from the heart and it is very helpful to have him as a guide along the journey of self-improvement. I've gotten a lot out of this course - these tips have definitely helped me re-frame some unhelpful thought patterns from the past. Definitely recommend it if you're struggling with social anxiety / low self-esteem. Thanks Tobi!

Excellent course! The topic is very related especially during these challenging times due to a pandemic and recently the war. I admit to myself that I have an autism and I'm struggling to interact with other people because not everyone else understands about my condition. The course is very helpful to learn on how to boost my self-esteem and confidence that'll help me finally coming out of my comfort zone.

Love the course, its all about overcome Social Anxiety which I have been trying to control and I have no confidence in myself and my Self Esteem is not that great. But with this class it help me a lot to overcome. I recommend to take this class who has problem with overcome Social Axiety, Confidence and Self Esteem. Thank you for this course. Just love it.

I like the course so far. I like the fact that Tobias has gone through his social anxiety. I totally prefer advice from someone who actually experienced anxiety instead of someone who just learned about it from the book.

I gave 5 stars because this is extremely helpful and I hope to learn a lot from this course

Valuable content, it totally makes sense. Now it's all about putting the lessons into practice and making them a habit until they are automatic behaviours.
By Sathyanarayanan Sivadas on 5/27/2020
I've come across most of the ideas mentioned here in various motivational books and books on the power of subconscious mind. Nonetheless, as the speaker narrated them as his personal experience, it has been a morale booster. Nice and effective course. Thank you
By Sejal Mutha on 5/23/2020
It is a good match. These are words that i do realise and understand but just need to hear them from someone to actually work upon them. Also i do realise hoe toxic i was being to myself, so that seems like a good start.
By Srinivas Thallam on 5/14/2020
It is a really good course and I love the way he explains everything. Most of the things are relatable.Thanks.
