Emily Jaenson’s motto is “Be so good they won’t forget you!” and this motto has carried her through her career to land her former role as General Manager of the Triple-A Reno Aces. Upon accepting this role in 2018, Jaenson became the first female in Triple-A to hold the GM role in nearly 20 years. Jaenson leads a podcast, Leadership is Female, where she interviews executives in sport so that she and her guests can guide the next generation of female leadership forward and leads a team of sports front office veterans in their consulting business. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

“When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.” – Jay Shetty ✨

Taking risks and going out of comfort zone is the key to self-confidence

Stop judging other people is a great one. The way you think becomes a built in pattern. So if you're overly judgemental of others, you'll be overly judgemental of yourself too. For example people who really judge others for their looks are often the most insecure about how they look.

1. Count yourself in with “3,2,1 go” and ask yourself the question “Who Am I?” You are a person who is not too shy to back away from a challenge. Counting gets you started. 2. Give yourself 20 seconds of courage. That’s all it takes. 3. Take a seat at the table - literally. Don’t wait around, actually get started with this one simple action. 4. Cheer for other peoples success. Confident people celebrate the success of others rather than feeling threatened. Quote: “Good for her, not for me” by Amy Poller. Confident people support those around them. 5. Boost your confidence with an activity you are already great at. What is something that is easier today than one year ago? What is your most proud accomplishment? Think about these questions because confidence is born in what we have already achieved. “Use your prior success to propel yourself forward.” 6. Celebrate constantly. Celebrate all goals, past and present. Know and honour your proudest accomplishments. Do something nice for yourself when you reach your goals. It doesn’t matter HOW you celebrate it matters that you DO celebrate. What could you do if you were 10x more confident? Date: 26th June 2023

I attest of number 5.I wrote all my accomplishments before a job interview. I really wanted that role, so was already confident when I got to the interview. Didn’t just secure the role, they gave me a role that is higher than what I applied. Remember your accomplishments, remember your testimonies. They will keep you grateful and going😊

Thank you Emily! My wife Debi passed away a couple of months ago from cancer. Your confidence and charisma remind me of her. Debi would have liked your talk. She loved baseball so much too. Thanks for inspiring.

It's always worth it to conquer the insecurities within and to rise and be the person who you want to be regardless of the opinions of others and so true confidence shines

I am also a shy person when I entered high school before. But I realized lots of things and practice my ways that helps to improve my skill and character. Now, I am a Senior in High School and I continue to face my fear and have confidence in front of my classmates, teachers, batch mates, especially in front of my fellow students when I do public speaking.

As a fitness enthusiast, I appreciate the emphasis on overall well-being. Confidence isn't just about appearance; it's about feeling good inside and out. Great video!
