6 hrs confidence:

for entrepreneurs with a social face

Explanation:
yes, it is a translation word by word, but, I think you can get away with it, as you leave the interpretation to the reader, in stead of doing it yourself (committed - responsible - conscience).

Google "social face", and have a look at examples of how it is used.
