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.Key TakeawaysKnow yourself: Understanding your strengths, triggers, and environment creates clarity and grounded confidence.Accept yourself: True confidence comes from embracing your authentic self and stopping the pursuit of perfection.Take responsibility: Growth requires owning your actions, managing your energy, and taking meaningful steps even when outcomes are uncertain.Confidence through action: You don’t need to feel fully ready — small, deliberate steps often generate confidence.Community and mentorship matter: Learning, reflection, and shared experiences accelerate confidence development.Learning and experimentation: Confidence thrives through curiosity, adaptability, and persistence, whether in leadership, creativity, or everyday challenges.About This EpisodeThis solo episode reflects on the lessons from season one and previews the direction for season two.
