What can we take from season one to grow our confidence in season two?
In this solo episode, I reflect on the first season of In Confidence and the key principles that emerged from conversations with world-renowned leaders, creative innovators, and expert practitioners. From senior executives to celebrated fashion designers, the season revealed that confidence is not innate — it is cultivated through self-awareness, self-acceptance, and purposeful action.
Through these conversations, season one uncovered three foundational principles of confidence: knowing yourself, accepting yourself, and taking responsibility for your actions. Across diverse experiences, guests highlighted that confidence is developed through repeated practice, reflection, and learning from real-world challenges — not through perfection or bravado.
In this episode, I also weave in reflections from younger voices, my family, and book club members, showing how these principles play out across generations and everyday life. Their experiences reinforce that confidence is built through experimentation, curiosity, and engagement with others.
