Tapping Into Your Self-Confidence

It's not egotistical to believe in yourself and your abilities.
Have you ever heard yourself say, "I don't want to brag, but..."

People often get nervous about asserting confidence in their abilities, because from a very young age we are conditioned to think that's egotistical or pompous.

It's OK if you're really good at something, but many people are taught that it's self-centered to think you can be great at something.

Here's the thing... It's not egotistical to believe in yourself.

You can -- and should -- own your greatness.

Now, since you've been conditioned to think this way from birth, it may not be easy to make the switch.

That's where people like Cornell Thomas step in.

Cornell is an athlete, author and life coach, and in this segment, he joins Andrea and Lisa to offer practical steps you can use to start feeling more self-confident.
