Why Confidence Is The Secret To Great Leaders At Work & Home | Dr. Karyn Gordon | TEDxRyersonU

Thank you so very much. I see what's happening with my wife now. We've been together over seven years. About 5 years ago We both got really heavy into personal development content like Tony Robbins, Joe Dispenza, Napoleon Hill. I moved from the left seat where we were both sitting to the center seat and havnt gone back. However she stayed in the left seat and continues to have a negative self image and a feeling of inadequacies. So her natural inclination is to find someone in her set or the right seat. Me bringing up solutions makes her upset. She wants me to dwell in despair with her and because I don't she acts like I don't understand. The thing is that I am not going back to that dark place. No matter what. This has really helped clarify things so much. I hope I can use this video to help my wife and in turn make her a better role model for our 2 daughters. Break the cycle of negativity. Thank you again.

I'm in awe at the passion and conviction of her speach... You can almost see the tears of passion as she talks. So inspiring.

She spoke with amazing energy and inspiration to really stimulate people making conscientious attitude for themselves.

This is by far the best Talk on confidence/leadership topic that I have come across.

Thank you for the formula, Dr. Karyn Gordon. So powerful! Not seeking perfection, because I am enough and it's inevitably boosting your confidence.

One of my best TEDx talks! I repeated the video many times and i can't get enough.

I love the 3 chairs analogy. An excellent TED talk for any kind of leader!

So interesting and engaging! I love the three chairs analogy.

Thanks Dr. Karyn. Just bump into this video, wow a huge surpise. Really inspired by your speech! I'm a person who would fear and personalize feedback from others, but now I realize focusing on what I can control and believe in oneself will make you feel so great and powerful.

Thank you Dr. Karyn Gordon . God bless you

This is so clear and apparent. Confidence is everything. Be willing to make a decision and do not others take your power. You are amazing.

Confident leaders are humble and they lift others up…so wise, inspiring & true!

This is the best TED talk I've ever watched

Excellent advice! Karyn shares a simple model (using 3 chairs) to help us understand confidence and how we can improve in this area. It's well worth a listen!

Great speech!!! Everyone should have ‘Don’t give up’ attitude to succeed in work and home

Thank you. I saw this video when I was so nagative about myself. Her words inspired me a lot of power. I think I can sit 'the middle chair' too 💪

This explains why I feel out of place when people appoint me as leading figure. I often feel inadequate, but all I do is bring "the pros" together, and I sit with them and I absorb from them.. and, well, this is a very important point of the lesson. But my favourite statement here is: strive for excellence, not perfection. Again I think it reflects a lot of myself. Thank you for this very important video and lesson!

A brilliant representation of the 3 prevailing attitudes and how we can work towards spending more time in the ideal one. How through using confidence in all aspects of life we can learn to believe in ourselves, shed the toxic self talk and keep our ego in check. This TEDx Talk is a must watch for all ages!! This is a human problem. Thank you Dr. Gordon for sharing your chairs, time and knowledge with us!

Such an amazing & powerful TEDx Talk!! A must-watch for everyone.

This is one of the most empowering TED talk I have watched.
