Where does confidence come from? Does it stem from being showered in praise and compliments? Or is it something that's deeply rooted in each of us? 

Well, good news, friends! Confidence doesn't depend on external factors… it is developed and nurtured in the mind and comes from the beliefs you have about yourself! That means, we can work on building it, like any muscle. And, if an eight-year-old can do it (yes, we have a surprise guest for you today), then you too can step out of your comfort zone, and into your courage arena. 

Today, we do our best to answer questions about confidence: where it comes from, how we can boost it, its connection to courage, and why accomplished people don’t always appear confident. We also talk about public speaking confidence and what we can find on the other side of our fears.
