We remind you that you were born with real gifts and that confidence gets shaky when we start living for other people’s opinions. We lay out the secret to supreme confidence: stop letting both criticism and compliments control your mindset, then execute and move on.

Suite Spots:

• noticing how dependence on opinions fuels insecurity and slumps
• refusing to let criticism rent space in our heads
• becoming independent of positive remarks as well
• adopting an “assassin” mindset focused on execution
