Super Confidence | Why It's OK Not To Be Liked By Everyone (Udemy.com)

This is an excellent course that brought up a lot of thought and introspection. The lens we see and live life through largely comes from how we were raised, and our experiences. These things have tremendous impact on us, and we go about our lives trapped in the "Allegory of the Cave", not recognizing anything different. This is especially true for me, being indoctrinated as a young child in a very strict Christian denomination where I was taught, I wasn't worthy, that I should fear, that the answers rest with a power greater than myself and I needed to find & seek approval. These deep-rooted programmed beliefs have impacted every area of my life. Kain brings a fresh approach and insight into living authentically, without fear, and without the need for approval. I especially appreciated insight into his own experiences as his stories made me feel a sense of connection and commonality. I also appreciate instructors who answer questions, not all of them do - Kain did. Thank you for a great course!

This is a great course for people who have trouble saying no when they really want to, for fear of feeling bad or awkward. This is a short course, but my experience with it has been a very thought provoking one. However this isn't a course that has a lot of exercises in it, or will somehow transform your life to be better. This is a course that has provided me with a strong foundation on why to say no and build off that. I highly recommend this course and because of Kain's delivery I have purchased his other courses to supplement this one.

I'm missing any academic/scientific evidence to certain claims/concept (what do people derive self confidence from) etc. The instructor highlights a few time that the course isn't perfect because he isn't perfect, but this to me doesn't justify the felt "drag/rambling off" that I perceived during most of the course. Some storytelling / sharing of personal life events is all fine, but this really goes on and at time it feels like a piece of self therapy to the instructor. I do feel the compassion and willingness to inspire his viewers though. But personally I feel this course could be summed up a few sentences.

I found the instructor to be super charismatic and he commands his knowledge in a very reassuring and secure way. He's had some major life experience to back up his claims and his knowledge and his stories are top notch for explaining the material at hand and also injecting some fun into what some people might construe as a serious and daunting subject. The only thing I'd change, would be if he could add some sort of "exercises" that the course takers could do so that they could practice and become more confident in saying NO, and practicing how to stop being brown nosers and people pleasers. Other than that minor thing, this course was short, to the point, fun, insightful and I'm definitely gonna take more of the author's courses to see what more I can learn! Thanks Kain and thanks Udemy!

Another great course by Kain Ramsay! This course discusses the major factors that lead to low self-confidence and poor self-esteem, and offers practical advice for those who desire to live a more fulfilling and interesting life. Kain's teaching style is inspiring and actually makes you believe that it is possible to leave behind your past, and go on to live an exciting life, where fear and insecurity don't keep you stuck and frustrated. Anyone can apply these techniques and start to see their confidence slowly grow higher and higher.

Good course, coming at the perfect time in my life. I had been feeling stuck and feeling that other people have moved on and I'd been left behind. I felt that I wasn't enough, wasn't who I needed to be and I was my own worst critic. I never was good at people pleasing but I always felt guilty and tormented myself endlessly. The course has helped me see that though I can strive for more, that I am good enough. I have a better understanding of why the relationships in my life have become closer or why they've drifted apart and I don't feel the need to question that anymore. No one can add anything and no one can take anything away, those are words I needed to hear.

Overall this was a fantastic course. Kain Ramsay is very straightforward and direct with his lesson material, unafraid to share portions of his own life experience (when applicable) and provide meaningful, practical material. The quizzes at the end of some sections are good gauges as to how the student views things, and should be taken as an honest personal survey, rather than something that needs to be gotten right. Would definitely recommend this course, and would certainly be interested in some of his other courses when money allows!

Kain, I enjoyed your course and I took it so I can stop being a people-pleaser, stop needing approval and stop comparing myself to others. There were things in the course that I knew before taking it, but you expanded on what I already knew. But, I still believe in pleasing God and going by His Bible, even though I am a sinner and always fall short of His goal. Everyone believes in something or someone and I believe in Him. But what I took out of this course was not to put people on a pedestal or put yourself above other people. That was the aim of the course and that's what I got out of it. I'm equal with people and they're equal with me, but God is the Authority. I really enjoyed your course and you taught me well and you taught me a lot and I am forever grateful. I also learned through the course that the course is not a panacea and not to put you on a pedestal. You are just an honest man that would like to shine his light with the world and you did. Thank you for the course and you gave me much food for thought for a lifetime. God Bless you and I will be taking one of your other courses that I already signed up for. Take care. Teresa T.

I took this course just to see what it had to offer and after watching a couple of his videos I was hooked. Kain is an excellent communicator and he delivers his message with confidence and passion. I always felt that I was listening to someone who knows and truly believes what they are talking about. I personally have gained a lot from this course and hope to apply my new-found knowledge to real life. I appreciate Kain sharing his wisdom with others because his message adds real value to other people's lives ;)

Good stories, illustrations, and personal examples of the cost of being inauthentic. We are called to be both authentic but also people of integrity. Perhaps I need to work on the latter before being completely comfortable with the former (make amends to those I've hurt, etc.) I think our masks can be useful though, and notice how many of us are uncomfortable when someone slips out of theirs. All in all a slightly unconventional self-help course, and refreshingly thought provoking which is to be expected from Mr. Ramsay.
