- 11:57How to reclaim your fearlessness | Amale Ghalbouni | TEDxESCP LondonConfidence isn't built in a day - it's built in the moments you choose to show up. Every time you raise your hand, take the chance, or say 'yes' when you're tempted to hide - you're building it. So don't wait to feel confident. Start small, Start scared. Just start. Because confidence doesn't come before the action - it comes because of it. Fear never truly disappears — but neither does your ability to rise above it. Your fearlessness isn’t lost; it’s just waiting for you to remember who you were before the world told you to be afraid. Amale is a strategist, executive coach, startup mentor, speaker and entrepreneur with over 17 years of experience working with FTSE100 and Fortune 500 companies, as well as high growth startups and scale ups. She helps her clients embrace experimentation and a human centric mindset to unlock sustainable high performance. Personally, within their teams, and for their entire organization. Her TEDx talk challenges the common belief that you need to be ready to take action, and encourages viewers to take an experimental approach to personal and professional growth.
