Around eight or nine years ago, Jacqui Brassey, Ph.D., experienced a “confidence crisis” which forced her to change how she takes care of herself, and which inspired her to teach others how to do the same. While low-grade anxiety was a constant companion in her life before this point, the combination of a new job and working environment, alongside a lack of self-care, exacerbated her anxiety, putting a roadblock in her ability to reach her potential—a problem which wasn’t helped by her hiding of it. 

Following her “confidence crisis,” Brassey began to study the topic, a journey which not only allowed her to discover the science behind her crisis but, as a learning and development professional, how these issues affect our ability to meet our potential at work and in life.



Brassey is a core researcher and practitioner in the field of Sustainable Human Development and Performance. Read her new book, Deliberate Calm: How to Learn and Lead in a Volatile World, and find her on LinkedIn at Jacqui Brassey.

Brilliant Thoughts is about people. It’s about how relationships shape careers. It’s about how influence shapes industries. It’s about how at the end of the day, ones and zeroes on spreadsheets represent real humans and no one is going to find success without keeping that top of mind.
