Favorite Self Confidence Quote

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. 

Definition of Self Confidence

Self-confidence is having the courage to pursue one's ambitions and life goals without apology. 

Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

Dominique played by other people's rules, society's rules, work hard and get promoted, but it never felt truly aligned with her gifts and abilities. She felt like she had to fight for space to be creative and innovative in her career, and that it was not encouraged or celebrated. So, she had to find different outlets to express her true self. .

Dominique's AHA moment was deciding to pursue the entrepreneurial path, and telling her parents over lunch while they were visiting her family and herself in Peru. 

Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

Dominique had full permission to learn, grow, and become the woman she wanted to be. She didn't have to ask anyone, she just did it. she got the books, the podcasts, the variety of mentors and guides, and started to carve out her own path to happiness, fulfillment, and personal success. .

The One Self Confidence Tip for the Listener 

Listen to your own voice. There is an inner voice wanting to be expressed. Let her speak and do the things that scare you. You just might find and discover you had confidence all along, you just had to activate it.

Goldie Chan is a creative, keynote speaker, author and cancer survivor.

Cultural Background

Goldie is of Chinese descent.

Favorite Self Confidence Quote

Joy is an act of resistance.

Definition of Self Confidence

Self-confidence is the quiet belief that your voice matters, your work has value, and you can handle what comes next.

Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

Before Goldie learned to be confident, she frequently doubted her value, particularly in the workplace, and she reframed her thoughts to fit into unsecure environments. Life felt smaller: not in a peaceful way, but in a way that muted her joy, her voice, and the impact that she knew she could make.

The “AHA” Moment

Goldie's big AHA moment was realizing that joy isn’t just a feeling - it can be a strategy. And on top of that, introverts can be more powerful than they believe, especially on a platform like LinkedIn.

Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

After discovering self-confidence, Goldie stopped shrinking herself to fit into rooms. She started designing rooms where others could expand, too. She has spoken on stages from San Francisco to Romania, sharing stories about joy, leadership, and personal branding with thousands of creatives and introverts who once felt unseen. Life now feels like a series of open doors, each one inviting her to show up fully and help others do the same.

The One Self Confidence Tip for the Listener 

When Goldie stood on a global tech stage as the only woman speaker, she didn’t just share her story, she made space for others by highlighting underrepresented voices and inviting future speakers from the audience to connect. Her advice: don’t wait to feel “ready” - start showing up, even if you feel timid or shy or introverted, and use every platform to lift others as you rise. Confidence grows when you choose courage over perfection and community over competition.

Favorite Self Confidence Quote

Just be yourself.

Definition of Self Confidence

Self-confidence is being unapologetically yourself.
