Hi,
Firstly, sure there are good courses for grooming one's personality and attitude. I suggest in the below way before you consider any professional certification:
1. Have a self analysis questionnaire by yourself to know what are the key areas you look for improvement and what are your strong areas in your personality? Keep them as detailed as possible and as specific as possible
2. There are a host of free courses available for variety of topics in personality development like communication skills, motivation, body language, business etiquette, email etiquette and telephone conversation skills, leadership and management development, time management.
3. Some of my personal places that I refer to are edx, coursera, Udemy, futurelearn. Once you have a basic understanding, apply them and see the changes in your personality.
4. Then, you can actually book for a professional course and get certified too. Having a thorough personal study first truly helps you in giving a direction.
