The Hidden Insecurity
I used to avoid speaking opportunities.
Not because I lacked ideas.
Because I lacked structure.
In college and early career, I would overprepare.
Notes. Slides. Rehearsals.
Then I’d step into the room – and freeze.
I thought the issue was confidence.
It wasn’t.
It was cognitive overload.
Too many ideas.
No execution framework.
No mental scaffolding.
When thoughts are unstructured, stress amplifies chaos.
The day I stopped trying to “be confident”
and started building structure – everything changed.
Confidence isn’t a personality trait.
It’s the byproduct of clarity + repetition.
If you’ve ever avoided an opportunity because you doubted yourself – maybe the issue wasn’t you.
Maybe it was the lack of a system.
What’s one opportunity you delayed because of self-doubt?
