[@goochjm]

Thank you Jess! 😊

[@tomikasnodgrass1580]

This talk is fantastic! I love what Tara says about gratitude, keeping the confident version of yourself at the forefront of your mind, and being grateful for that version of yourself. This message resonates with me deeply because although I am very confident, self-doubt still creeps in sometimes. During these times, I can reflect on all the love and encouragement that my parents poured into me over the years, which gave me the confidence to believe that anything is possible. For that, I am immensely grateful and passionate about paying it forward by pouring that love and encouragement into my children and everyone around me. Well done, Tara LaFon Gooch!

[@TaraLaFonGooch]

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment, Tomika! I'm so glad this message resonated with you and had an impact on you. I just subscribed to your KZbin channel! ❤

I love the initial engagement from the audience I love the construction example! Strong and stable foundation! Love that. I love that you talked about your struggle with a lack of confidence during childhood, the shift to adulthood, and being more confident. The self-discovery journey after hitting bottom is so relatable and glad you shared it

[@goochjm]

The construction example was a great visualization!

[@user-zf4bo8xq2k]

Finding gratitude in the small things in life is so important I feel

Great talk! It's sad that so many people suffer from low self-esteem. I have worked hard to overcome it and I wish we would put more emphasis on helping children gain confidence earlier in life. It's a subject we must continue discussing.

[@TaraLaFonGooch]

Hi Jane! Thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts. So many people, especially girls are suffering from low self-esteem and then it carries with them for far too long in life and they believe it is a fixed reality for them. It doesn't have to be this way, there is a method to developing confidence and it starts with GRATITUDE! 🙏

[@michaelthomascoaching5003]

This is a must-watch: The Foundation of Confidence. Watch how Tara takes the stage with confidence and gratitude she takes us on an amazing journey of self-confidence, limiting beliefs and mindset. You can't be what you can't SEE. Plant those seeds and watch them slowly grow. Feelings of gratitude and feelings of confidence are directly related. This is because the more grateful you are for all you have, the more you realize ALL that you have to be grateful for… and more and more awesome things. Tara, you Truly lead from the front, and you will change and influence many lives. Now and in the future.😃😃😀This TED x talk is gift wrapped for those are looking to find confidence through gratitude.

[@Nothingisimpossible23]

Tara what a powerful talk and story my friend! As you know gratitude is something I've been practicing daily this year will make 4 years and my definition of gratitude is "the light in a room full of darkness. I love the vulnerability you shared in your talk my friend and it serves as a reminder that "Vulnerability isn't a weakness it's a SUPER POWER". I believe the greatest confidence builder is keeping the promises you make to yourself and holding yourself accountable to a standard over feelings ♥ Impossible= I'm Possible 🙌🙌🙌

I could feel your pride, and your immense desire to give these gifts of knowledge to your daughter. As a parent, we want so much for them, and it is so tough some times. Your presentation touched me, as an "older" guy, as I have strived to live my life while building my foundations of gratitude and confidence. And as you so clearly emphasized, this can be done in spite of our challenges, which we all experience. Now, I live for the good of what comes today, surrounded by positive people and environments that inspire and propel me towards the future that I have envisioned. So again, an amazing presentation. You should be very proud and confident in a job well done.

This Ted Talk was wonderful. I really love how you intially showed the audience how common low self esteem can be, and then showed how it can directly change the tragectory of your life as you shared your personal journey. The three steps towards using graditude as a catalyst to confidence are brilliant and so needed. I think this is truly going to inspire others, as I know it has inspired me. As a professional with a goal for success that is tethered to my daughter’s future and well-being, I can directly relate to this. I am happy that you are going the distance and sharing your vision.

This may very well have just changed my life- its hat good, I can feel it

[@TaraLaFonGooch]

Love hearing this, Mike! I hope it does change your life and help you. Thank you for your support! What part resonated with you the most?

[@dorritkarlsen9594]

I loved your talk. So honest and raw. I see what you’re saying here even though I have a different approach to helping people gain confidence- but one thing is common for us both: we use gratitude. In my work it is used when a client are under hypnotic induction and we find a piece of information from the past ( this life or a prior life time). It is important to acknowledge and be thankful for the reason it came to the client in the first place, and to the lesson it teaches. Anyway, thanks a ton for sharing this with me and congratulations on a perfectly performed TEDx talk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💝🥳

[@TaraLaFonGooch]

I love your approach, Dorrit! I have found that we all have different approaches but what matters is that it works and people are helped as a result. Gratitude is indeed what we have in common because it really works! Thank you so much for highlighting that!

The 3 Foundational Layers of Gratitude To Build Confidence: 1.) Gratitude for your past and your life's journey. 2.) Gratitude for your present and loving the person you are. 3.) Gratitude for your future self and everything you can become and stepping into the person you were designed to be. So much power in this! Share your thoughts. Let's start a conversation!

[@StandupforDoctors]

I was so happy to watch this Tara, amazing job! Awesome bottom-line summary of your book, congratulations!!!

[@TaraLaFonGooch]

Thank you so much, Kim!! I thought you would like step #3, having gratitude for your future self and what that means and looks like based off our conversation. It is an interesting concept but I believe that when we can have gratitude for things yet to be, we are able to visualize them clearly and feel them in a VERY powerful way that makes it even more real and tangible. Does this concept resonate with you?

[@StandupforDoctors]

Wow, you remembered 😊 @@TaraLaFonGooch, absolutely! I'm still working on that, thank you so much!

[@TaraLaFonGooch]

@@StandupforDoctors Absolutely, of course I remembered! ❤️ I have a great memory for conversations with amazing people like you!
