Favorite Self Confidence Quote
Be the change you want to see in this world.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is to show up and be brave to speak your truth, no matter if there is a fear of judgment from others or yourself.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
When Mary was a kid, she was always the smallest in her class and was the youngest of three, so she was portrayed as cute. She never wanted to be that type of girl, so she spoke too fast, talked too loud, and was very physical to try to be seen and heard.
The “AHA” Moment
Mary decided to go to radio school and didn’t like the sound of her voice from the recordings. She sounded like that little girl who was told to be quiet, so she worked on her voice to showcase her true self.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Mary knows that her voice represents her emotions and her confidence. You’re free when you can use your voice to its fullest potential and get out from behind that voice mask you’ve had for so long.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Use that fear or nervousness in your voice to power your message. Your voice is the most direct way to connect emotion to emotion with those around you. Words alone don’t convey that emotion. Your confidence is heard through the power of your voice and we need diverse voices now more than ever, so speak with unapologetic passion!
