QUOTES AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
Jamie’s purpose: “Empower women to ditch doubts, speak up, and achieve the careers they deserve and desire”
“Rehearse until it’s verse. Life is one big rehearsal.”
“I didn’t have to be the most experienced person in the room, I didn’t have to be the smartest, or the most male as long as I did one thing – carry myself with confidence. Lead with confidence. That became my secret sauce.”
Secret to confidence: “Your confidence is not about them; it’s about you. It’s about how you show up for you.”
What rattles your confidence: (1) The unfamiliar and (2) High stakes. “Take steps to familiarize the unfamiliar.
“Ditching doubts has a lot to do with mindset. Words matter. The words that we’re telling ourselves are having an impact on our actions that follow.”
“The cells in our body are eavesdropping on our words.”
Your confidence currency: “Your confidence account works just like your bank account. It has your name on it. You control the password. You make the decisions about how to grow it, how to invest it, and how to spend it…. The only way someone can make a withdrawal from your account is if you give them permission.”
Being a Broken Rung Fixer: (1) Getting credit for your work (2) Creating visibility and (3) Building the MAC team (Mentors, Allies, and Champions)
Soundbite: “Short, succinct statement that contains ~ 20 word or less and it’s said in 10 seconds or less.”
