Why Confidence Is The Secret To Great Leaders At Work & Home | Dr. Karyn Gordon | TEDxRyersonU

What’s the secret to GREAT leaders at work? In the classroom? At home? After coaching global organizations and families for 25 years, Dr. Karyn, CEO of DK Leadership and bestselling author, has the answers. After studying the research, she discovered a powerful pattern and witnessed firsthand how different attitudes of confidence impact our decision-making in many areas, including communication, relationships, goal-setting, perfectionism and mental health. To teach this idea, she created a simple model she coined “The Three Chairs”, which allows people of all ages to understand confidence and how it affects their everyday life. In her TEDx Talk, Dr. Karyn shares her own journey, teaches practical steps to build confidence, and delivers an empowering message of hope. Dr. Karyn is the #2 WALL STREET JOURNAL & USA TODAY Bestselling author of the new book “The Three Chairs: How Great Leaders Drive Communication, Performance & Engagement.” She is also the CEO and co-founder of DK Leadership, a global leadership coaching company whose purpose is developing GREAT leaders at work and home. Nominated for the 2021 RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award, she has spoken to more than 500,000 people across 17 countries—including Fortune 500 companies, family businesses, entrepreneurs, professional associations, and others. A sought-after media personality and contributor, she has worked with Good Morning America, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc. Magazine, The New York Times, and Cityline.
