What does it mean to cannonball with confidence? | Amy Schmidt | TEDxCapeMay

Remember those days as a child, and you had that fearless exhilaration. Those feelings of fear, or being stuck were almost nonexistent? “Confidence is trusting our abilities,” says author, speaker and podcast host Amy Schmidt. In an inspiring talk, she shares ways in which to create your highlight reel. To dig deep and self reflect on those accomplishments, experiences, mistakes, and knowledge you’ve gained through your journey to propel you forward with confidence. Confidence takes time to develop and hard work to maintain. Fear is ever-present, but on the other side of fear is magic, and that fearless exhilaration is still there. It’s time for you to make an impressive splash, and cannonball with confidence.
