"As women, we talk about confidence all the time, and the thing that I have learned is that I can actually trust in myself to get the job done, to have a good enough answer to solve a complex problem, to not be afraid to lean into the hard, the ugly, the difficult issues that are out there." Laurie McGraw, Chief Commercial Officer at Transcarent, reveals the truth about confidence: it's not something you're born with—it's something you earn through experience.

"I didn't have that confidence because I didn't have all of that experience in those earlier times when I took those larger positions," she admits.

The game-changer? That confidence brings calm. Even when things are still hard, still complex, you know you can handle it because you've handled it before.

In this powerful clip from Inspiring Women, Laurie shows why waiting to feel confident before taking the big job is backwards. The confidence comes AFTER you do the hard things.
