Tom Triumph examines why thinking more like an artist and “moving into the realm of thinkers, builders, and doers,” can improve how we view the world and the work we do. He says, “The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colors, yet many people experience the world in terms of an 8-crayon box.”

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.
