Dare to Live Fully: Redefining Confidence

Helene's special guest this week is Laura Whitley, executive vice president, Bank of America. Laura's upbringing supported her to be courageous and gave her the ability to take on new challenges and trust her intuition. 

Here are some of the highlights from the program:

On getting comfortable with the uncomfortable…

LAURA: Being uncomfortable or having shaky knees is not a bad thing, it tells you that you’re about to embark upon a learning experience. Learning and growing is always good. 

On intuition…

Trusting your gut is really leveraging your experience. Intuition comes from many experiences and factors. I have trusted my gut in making important decisions. If the situation does not line up with what my instincts say, it tells me there’s something amiss and I need to understand [what’s really going on].

On being “totally”confident…

HELENE: I’ve interviewed high level leaders, and the idea of being totally confident in moving forward is just not real. These women wanted to make a difference, picked their issues and took some risks.

On taking on a new challenge…

If we’re pulling back, out of the fear that perhaps we don’t have enough skills in place to move forward, then we’re depriving people of our talent, and could pass up some great opportunities.
