Woman Says US Colleagues Taught Her Confidence Is A Skill

Harini, an Indian woman working in the United States, said she learned from her American colleagues that confidence is a skill that can be developed. She contrasted this with her upbringing in India, where she was taught to be cautious in speech.

She said that while growing up in India, she was taught to think twice before speaking and not speak until she was too sure about something. Her observation points to a cultural difference in how confidence is viewed in the workplace. The remarks were reported by NDTV.
