In this episode of Daily Creative, we explore a quote from Richard Rohr: "A mouse in a mansion does not need to take lessons in humility." This imagery of a mouse confidently navigating a grand space leads us into a profound discussion on humility, self-awareness, and authentic leadership.

We reflect on the importance of striking a balance between confidence and humility, highlighting how true confidence stems from self-awareness rather than ego. By understanding our own worth and limitations, we can operate from a place of genuine humility, fostering trust, respect, and creativity within our teams and personal lives.

Five Key Learnings:

True Confidence vs. Ego: 1. Confidence acknowledges fallibility and values others, while ego insists on infallibility and self-importance. Self-Awareness: 2. Recognizing our worth and limitations helps us lead with humility and authenticity. Mentorship: 3. The perspectives of trusted mentors can provide valuable insights into our strengths and areas for growth. Consistent Progress: 4. Regularly setting and achieving attainable goals builds creative confidence, as noted by researcher Teresa Amabile. Vulnerability: 5. Sharing struggles and uncertainties with trusted individuals can enhance our confidence and reduce the fear of imperfection.
