You can't touch it or see it but you know it's there. When a woman feels sensual, that's confidence. When  a kid stands up to peer pressure, that's confidence. When a young woman leaves home to build a life for  herself, that's confidence. When a singer gets on
stage, that's confidence. When you're not afraid to say something new, try something new, let someone new into your life, that's confidence. We need to share it,
talk about it, sing it, inspire it, encourage it, project it, welcome it. That's what Project Confidence is all about  and the first step is to find and acknowledge friends who are already championing the spread of confidence  in communities likes yours. They will become our ambassadors and help up build a nation of confident  women
