S6 E16: Building Self-Esteem and Courage with Alan Weiss

Alan Weiss joins Dr. Tracie Edwards to unpack the real meaning of self-esteem in business and life. They discuss why self-esteem is internal, while ego is all about external validation—and how your true power comes from having the courage to use your talents, even when it feels risky. Alan shared practical strategies for reframing failure, cultivating resilience by bouncing forward, and setting your own metrics for success. Take control of your narrative, trust your judgment, and remember: no one else gets to define your worth.
