Valerie's unique point of view is that confident people are not necessarily more intelligent, capable, or talented than others. Instead, they think differently about competence, failure or mistakes, criticism, and fear, which sets them apart. She believes that the only way to stop feeling like an impostor is to change the way we think about ourselves.
