Morning Motivation for Educators

In this episode, I discuss the difference between being cocky and confident with Joey Massio, a former middle school teacher turned teen coach. We explore the importance of helping teens build self-confidence without the fear of coming off as arrogant. Joey shares a scenario where a teen struggled to recognize her talents due to the fear of being seen as cocky. We delve into tips on how to avoid sounding like you're bragging, such as refraining from comparisons and being genuinely surprised by your accomplishments. Joey underscores the value of acknowledging both strengths and weaknesses, as genuine confidence stems from humility. Together, we explore the significance of nurturing self-assurance in teens rather than allowing self-doubt to persist out of fear of being perceived as boastful. Join us as we advocate for fostering a mindset of humble confidence, where embracing one's abilities and flaws leads to authentic self-assurance devoid of cockiness or arrogance.
