Through a mix of engaging activities, real-life examples, and actionable techniques, you'll gain the tools to reshape your mindset, enhance your decision-making, and cultivate a habit of positive self-reflection. By the end of this course, you'll not just understand the '5Fs' inside out – you'll be equipped to outsmart them, paving the way for a future where you're in control and your success is no longer at the mercy of sneaky subconscious habits.
