Confidence Classic: Staying Positive Through Every Setback with Heather!

They always go differently, but I had planned today on talking to you about something that happened this last week with my keynotes.

I had a really big week with the launch of Women's Month and International Women's Day, and I had been hired for so many keynotes, and one of them was for Amazon, which is, like, the largest keynote I've ever done for...

It was for more people than I've ever presented to before ever in my life.

So super exciting.

Like, huge week.

So many things went wrong.

In the end, it all worked out amazing, and I'm super grateful, but I wanted to dig into this and share it with you because so often people think that everybody else has it easy.

Like, everything goes seamlessly.

That is not the case.

Okay, so that was what I was gonna make this whole episode about today.

But because something happened in my life today, I have to pivot and share this too because it just hit me over the head.

And, and whenever something really grabs my attention, I think, "Oh my gosh, I have to share it with you," because someone out there needs to hear it.

Okay, so I'm, I'm going to tighten up what I was originally gonna do and then pivot and share this other story.

Okay, so here's what happened this week that I, I originally wanted to share with you.

Had all these amazing keynotes.

Super excited.

Of course I'm, like, a little nervous, right? Like anyone, when you're having, like, the biggest speaking engagement of your life, you know, you get a little nervous, but I was...

I've put the reps in.

I've done the work.

I've been speaking for over 20 years.

I've been doing virtual keynotes now for two years, multiple a day, right? Like, I, I've put the reps in.

Competence builds confidence.

No matter what it is that you do or you're working on, the more you put the reps in, the better you're gonna get.

Look at LeBron James, right? The guy didn't show up at 20 and become a basketball player.

He started playing as a kid, and he, and he every day practiced and practiced and practiced, and that competence builds the confidence on the court.
