A Simple (but not easy) Technique to Build Confidence: Keep the Promises You Make to Yourself. BAM!!

from One Fear Per Year · host Janice Angela Burt

When I sat down with Dan MacQueen, I was reminded of what true resilience looks like. At 28, Dan was living the dream. Working in tech, traveling Europe, laughing with friends, full of life.Until one day, taking the tube home on a London subway…everything went black. He woke up unable to walk, talk, or even smile.The doctors said this was his new reality.But Dan had other plans.Step by step, word by word, he rebuilt himself.Through pain. Through frustration. Through fear.And somewhere between the hospital bed and the stage, he discovered something powerful:“It’s not what happens to you that defines you... it’s how yourespond.”Today, Dan is an international keynote speaker on resilience, change, and mindset, helping organizations and leadersreframe adversity into opportunity.He’s funny. He’s real. And his story will make you rethink what’struly possible.Sometimes you have to lose everything to learn how to see again.So here’s my question for you:What’s one fear you’ve been avoiding that might actually be your path to growth?#onefearperyear #chasecourage
