Ariel is a psychotherapist, neuroscientist, and entrepreneur having started a tech company called Muse.
In this episode, she talks about how fear can get in our way and is driven by parts of the brain that used to help keep us alive, but now may be barriers to our performance.

Confidence is the key to having a better workplace experience. It is something you need to control and shouldn't be dependent on your boss or coworkers.
We are all human, which means we will all make mistakes.
We will frustrate other people, we will become frustrated ourselves.
If we don't have high confidence, we can end up hating where we work or just feeling bad at the place we spend a lot of our time.
The more we can control our own confidence, the better we will feel and perform.
In this episode, we talk about what confidence is: appreciating our own abilities and qualities that give us a feeling of self-assurance.
We also talk about how to build our confidence in two ways: Journaling and checklists.

There is a difference between knowledge and information.
Knowledge is the key to success.
Information is the facts and data we can point to objectively and transfer easily.
We can see how information can be easily provided and transferred in training and meetings.  It's also what a lot of people are tired of in organizations.
Knowledge is different because it comes from experience and education. It isn't just information, it goes beyond information.
If we understand the concept that knowledge is information, but information is not knowledge, we can do what human beings love to do and what has made us so successful as a species:
We can learn.
We can understand.
We can predict.
