This can be accomplished by tapping into and shifting beliefs about social interactions.  Sebastiaan offers a FREE Mini Course titled "The 7 Secrets to Social Confidence" that can be accessed by going to https://bit.ly/socialconfidencepodcast Note: In this episode, you will hear "check out the video testimonials of my former clients".
