Improve your courage, not your confidence.

Debbie Millman remembers her conversation with a great writer, Dani Shapiro, during which she realised that it’s not confidence that is so important to improve professional life, but courage.

1. Don’t wait for confidence to arise; take a step.
   Confidence develops naturally when you take a risk.

2. Be careful with being over-confident.
   People who try to be confident are often perceived as annoying or arrogant.
