Confidence Classic: Redefine Success and Create Limitless Possibility with Laura Gassner Otting
Have you ever crushed a goal and still felt empty? In this episode, I sit down with best-selling author, keynote speaker, and former White House appointee Laura Gassner Otting to talk about why success isn’t always what it seems and what it means to break the “shoulds”. We dive into the difference between being impressive and being fulfilled, how chasing external validation leads to burnout, and why confidence doesn’t come from pleasing others. Laura shares how she rediscovered alignment in her life, what finally made her say yes to a TEDx talk, and how she’s helping high achievers rewrite their definition of success. Plus, I also reveal the strategy for my viral LinkedIn posts that reached 850,000+ people. Get ready to step into your limitless potential.
