You don’t need confidence.
You need courage.

Dr Pretty Basra is an entrepreneur and TEDx speaker who helps ambitious people stop waiting to feel ready and find the courage to take the next step before confidence arrives.

BOOK PRETTY

Worked with and inspired audiences at...

Your audience doesn’t need another talk about being more confident.

They already know they should speak up. Put themselves forward. Take the opportunity. Start the thing. Stop worrying what everyone else thinks.

Knowing is never the problem. Acting is.

Pretty focuses on the uncomfortable space between the two. The moment before the leap, when fear, self-doubt and the need to feel ready can stop capable people doing what they’re already capable of doing.

Drawing on her own experience since childhood, combined with practical mental fitness tools, Pretty helps audiences understand what their mind is doing in those exact moments and make the move they’ve been talking themselves out of.

What your audience will take away...

Understand what’s holding them back

Recognise the mental patterns behind avoidance, self-doubt and the need to feel ready.

Act without waiting for fear to disappear

Learn practical ways to move forward despite uncertainty, discomfort or potential failure.

See failure differently

Understand why something going wrong doesn’t have to determine what happens next.

Take their next courageous step

Leave with a personal action, whether that’s applying, asking, speaking, leading, starting or trying again.

J Baxter - Marketing Manager

I really liked your point about only needing to be 70% ready to take action, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I know that can hold me back. I also found the 3 point weekly action plan you outlined incredibly helpful

01. COURAGE BEFORE CONFIDENCE

How to stop waiting to feel ready and take action before confidence arrives.

Discover why capable people can still hesitate, overthink and talk themselves out of opportunities they want.

Pretty shows audiences how to recognise the mental patterns holding them back, use mental fitness to move through fear and self-doubt, and find the courage to take their next step before they feel completely ready.

02. WHEN FAILURE FEELS FINAL

How to rebuild when things don’t go to plan, and find the courage to try again.

Failure is easy to embrace when it isn’t happening to you.

Drawing on her own experiences of failing and rebuilding, Pretty helps audiences separate what happened from what they believe it says about them, rebuild self-trust and stop a setback from deciding what they do next.

How to work out what you want when your identity has become defined by what you do.
