Description

The Empowered Creatives is all about finding confidence between hustle and burnout... but what exactly is confidence? And where does it come from?



I recently read The Confidence Code by Katty Kay & Claire Shipman and I wanted to share my 4 takeaways from the book with you.

1. “Confidence is purity of action produced by a mind free of doubt.” - quoted from The Confidence Code
2. There are 4 cousins to confidence: optimism, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and self-compassion
3. Confidence comes from both genetics and our environment
4. Failing is an essential part of confidence
