What if confidence didn’t mean being loud, outgoing, or always sure of yourself? In this TEDx talk, Mérida Miller challenges the myth of the “confident type” and explores how our culture has misbranded confidence altogether. If you’ve ever felt too quiet, too unsure, or like you don’t fit the mold of a “confident person,”—this talk might show you that your confidence was never missing, it’s just been mislabeled. Founder & CEO at Project Fearless, public speaker and professional hype-girl.Building for people, with people, and creating empowering solutions is what gives me energy.
I left the corporate world to build Project Fearless, a switch shaped by wiring for human-centric design. We’re creating what parents wish they’d had growing up, and want for their girls and kids now: a place where they can step inside, shed who they “should be”, and have the space, time and tools to figure out who they are instead.
Since 2019, we’ve welcomed 2090 kids and teens to our programs, and seen how what they learn at Project Fearless impacts their friends, families and communities in a ripple effect. It’s also helped me step into leadership roles in inclusive cycling, joining the board of No Ordinary Women Cycling Club.
