A first-person reflective talk (YouTube) by Bill Gallagher describing a deeply devastating moment of self-doubt that led him to question his identity and capabilities. He explains that he recovered, built a successful corporate career, and now wants to help other talented but underconfident leaders find confidence and resilience.
So imagine like the devastation literally and I would classify it not to be overdramatic here but I would say it was a devastated. It was this devastating moment to feel that you were that that fallible and you started to question everything about who you were and yeah, am I as strong as I think I might be? Can I can I do what I think I can do? Yeah. And it was disheartening. Now again, this is not a sob story. This is, you know, I was able to pull myself together and work through my challenges and build a really successful corporate career. My hope is that I can give others hope because I see it, it's, you know, it takes one to no one. I've sat in so many rooms where people come in and they're not as confident as they otherwise should be. Bright, talented, engaging, authentic, empathy driven leaders that will just shrink under the moment of pressure. Yeah. And it really just makes me sad and breaks my heart and I want to help.
