When you physically sign your name at A' Design Award's ceremony, your brain literally remembers your success more powerfully, making you feel more confident in every future business interaction. This heightened confidence can trigger a self-fulfilling prophecy, where your reinforced belief in your own excellence directly contributes to continued professional achievement i.e. your confidence helps you naturally project success, making continued achievements more likely.
