The Human Factor Podcast Episode 61: Building Confidence and Telling Your Own Story with Emily Jaenson
We’re joined by a truly inspiring Emily Jaenson whose journey proves that confidence isn’t just a trait—it’s a practice. Once too shy to order a pizza, she went on to become one of the few female General Managers in Minor League Baseball, delivered one of the most-watched TEDx talks of 2022, and is now a leading global speaker and coach on confidence. Together, we explore how self-belief can either free you or hold you back, how it impacts not just our careers but our relationships, and how we can cultivate confidence in ourselves and others in a way that lifts everyone around us. If you’ve ever wondered whether confidence is a gift or a skill—or how to harness it without tipping into ego—this episode is for you.
