achieve a steady level of confidence: Recognize that insecurity can often accompany success. It’s critical to acknowledge how your talents directly connect to the successes you experience. Pay attention to what you tell yourself during moments when you feel pressure. Often, rewriting any negative internal dialogue can give you the confidence you need to get through a challenge. Surround yourself with truth-brokers. We need people in our lives who tell us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear.
