It was hard work for sure. And heart, determination, resilience. Plus the talent and skill of Troy Parrott and others. But maybe it's also OK to be open to the fact that we got lucky. Bounces of the ball could have gone different ways. The ref could have had a different opinion on a billionaire's elbows. Sure, you make your own luck. But sometimes, the randomness of the universe also comes along to give you a little helping hand.

We do it on every morning skate, and we did it again today. I think the more he's going to face those situations in practice, the more it's going to help his game and he's going to be more involved.

The wisdom here isn't about self-deprecation, but rather embracing what Davis et al. (2011) refer to as the "just right view of the self." When we clearly understand both our strengths and weaknesses, we gain a better understanding of the value we bring to our environment as well as where we need additional support. In theory, when we recognize this, neither flattery nor insult should have the power to distort our self-worth.

Diane Keaton had been an icon since before I was even born; who was I to direct her? To fill her head with my dialogue? To give her a note, suggesting: It might be even funnier if you tried ? And yet, as she towered over me in sky-high Gucci platform booties, she never made me feel even one inch less tall as I guided her through what would wind up being her final film.

Take Action First and Sit With Your Emotions Later Your brain can be devious. It tells you to wait until anxiety subsides, until courage emerges, and for that "perfect moment." Learn to tune out those whispers of self-doubt. Your emotions are temporary and change rapidly after you take courageous action. You don't get into shape by signing up for the marathon; you do it by practicing. Slowly first, then slowly building speed.

In my thousands of hours of conversations with leaders, I discovered that we share a common belief: that our confidence will arrive once we receive a certain title or status. We think we will finally "feel" successful. But it doesn't happen that way. Self-doubt is always waiting at the edges of our capabilities. When we attempt to push doubt aside and ignore it, we reduce our ability to remain curious and respond most effectively.

The pressure was electric. Hope and fear did a wild dance in my chest and no matter how hard I tried, my imagination kept racing ahead. This was the moment that could change the trajectory of my life and career - and I blew it. But the lessons I took from that failed audition turned out to be more valuable than any role.

A young woman asked, "Did you always want to direct or did casting work inspire you to direct?" My response was immediate: "I always knew I wanted to direct but my self-worth was in the gutter. So, I had to work on that most of all." She gave that answer some very enthusiastic snaps, as did others in the audience. I thought, oh yeah, a lot of people feel that

The latest campaign, titled Get Set, frames the return to class as a moment of renewed purpose, fusing athletic edge with everyday confidence.

Everyone needs a good hype friend; they pump you up for dates, boost your confidence before interviews, and remind you of your worth after breakups.

I love her so much and she's so right, I've literally never felt more confident than when I started putting on muscle and feeling more steady and strong on my feet.

Confidence coach Regina Bonds believes that flirting in real life is a lost art, emphasizing the impact of technology on personal interactions and dating.

Self-awareness, despite being celebrated, is actually rare, leading to a collective obsession with it as its absence increases admiration for those who possess it.

When I encounter unsolicited comments about my family size, I respond with something humorous or corny to diffuse any judgment. For instance, I might say, "Hands full, heart full!" while engaging with my kids.

One of the most powerful things that happens with age is that you become more comfortable in your skin. The self-consciousness that may have clouded your earlier experiences often gives way to clarity. You know what you like. You've had time to figure out how your body responds, what brings you joy, what bores you, and what's a hard no. That kind of knowledge is sexy and empowering.

I became a sex educator for the nerdiest possible reason. When I got to undergrad, I knew I was gonna be going to grad school for something, I had no idea what, but I knew I needed volunteer work on my resume to look like a good grad school candidate.

A healthy ego tells you that you're talented and creative, but an inflated ego makes you think you're too good to wash dishes or accept constructive criticism.

We all suffer from periods of self-doubt that can be debilitating when we are faced with unexpected challenges. We get stuck in a cycle of hesitation that leads to stagnation.

While there's limited evidence that making yourself bigger directly boosts confidence, there is strong evidence that making yourself smaller can have the opposite effect.

I've found that the only way to effectively communicate with people who refuse to be honest and direct about their feelings is to take everything they say as gospel truth.

Frequent apologies can subtly affect how others perceive your confidence and self-assurance.
