ERICA NEAL
I developed my confidence and self-esteem through journaling and meditation. Read More>>
Kathrine Yets
Most of my life, I had extremely low self-esteem, lacked confidence, and was so shy to the point of developing social anxiety. Read More>>
Tunde Dugantsi
I found something I enjoyed doing: gingerbread art. I did tons of research about recipes and techniques, practiced countless hours to improve my skills. I started sharing my work with the world. I got a lot of positive feedback. Pretty soon I got requests from others to teach classes. Seeing my students succeed gives me confidence. Read More>>
Mike Barsamian
This is a really fascinating question. My growth in both of these areas began in 2017 when I was introduced to Dr. Steve Byrum and the Hartman Value Profile. I met Dr. Byrum in a season of burnout and questioning my calling and effectiveness in my work. Read More>>
Sean Navi
I developed my confidence and self-esteem through a combination of hands-on experience, overcoming challenges, and consistently delivering results in my career. For the past ten years, I’ve owned and operated a residential construction and real estate development company in Los Angeles. Read More>>
Apoorva Gupta
As a self-taught artist and a mother and wife, my success and my brand would not have been possible if I wasn’t confident that my art is worth it. How I developed it? Well, since childhood I was always confident because I knew I may not be the prettiest in the room, but will always be the smartest. Read More>>
Allexa Fiori
My confidence and self-esteem developed slowly overtime. I didn’t wake up one day feeling sure of myself- It came from small moments, learning to trust my abilities, and surrounding myself with people who believed in me even when I sometimes questioned myself. Learning to give yourself grace, grow through challenges instead of fearing them. Read More>>
George / Jo Peterson /Amor
For Jo and I, confidence wasn’t something we were born with. It was something we have to learn to build. We came into adulthood carrying very real trauma stories. Jo lived through long chapters of depression and anxiety, and I carried my own battle with addiction. Our self-esteem grew the moment we stopped abandoning ourselves in hard moments. Read More>>
Fosca Redolfi Tezzat
I consider myself a confident person even though that wasn’t always the case. As my friends and family would confirm, my mentality to acquire more confidence in your life is to try new things and put yourself in uncomfortable situations to test your limits. Back in high school I realized that hobbies are way more important that what we realize, especially as adults. Read More>>
Chris Mitchell
I developed my confidence and self-esteem later in life. When I was younger, I was much more reserved. Over time, I began doing things like playing team-based sports (football, baseball, soccer, etc.), which helped me build a stronger sense of confidence and self-worth. Of course, everyone is human—there’s only so much we can maintain that feeling every day. Read More>>
Chelsea Chong Kim
I was not born confident. For a long time, I was the quiet student who observed more than she spoke. I had ideas, creativity, and dreams, but I did not yet believe my voice carried weight. That belief began to change the moment I entered the ASB program in high school. Joining ASB pushed me into spaces I never imagined myself in. Read More>>
Sidharth Ramsinghaney
My confidence grew from embracing uncertainty as a pathway to growth. Early in my career, I was handed a massive challenge: leading a complex multi-billion dollar corporate separation for a Fortune 100 company. Initially overwhelmed, I realized confidence isn’t about having all the answers, but about believing in your ability to find them. Read More>>
Yael VanGruber
My confidence was shaped from a very young age. Living in a house of two hardworking parents, independence became a natural part of my life. I learned early how to take care of myself, make decisions, solve problems, and trust my own judgment. Read More>>
Dr. Tiffany Sayles
I developed my confidence and self-esteem by learning early to be my own positive voice. Growing up, I didn’t always hear affirmations that lifted me up—most of the praise I received was about being smart, while comments about being ‘cute but fat’ bothered me because I knew I was beautiful too.
