Why self belief is overrated | Hanan Nagi | TEDxHarvard Square

We’re told that unshakable confidence is the secret to success. But what if that’s a myth? In this talk, we’ll explore how blind self-belief can trap us in echo chambers, fuel overconfidence, and keep us from learning. Real progress, it turns out, doesn’t come from certainty—it comes from humility, feedback, and the courage to doubt ourselves enough to grow. Up next is Hanan Nagi —a Harvard graduate, award-winning entrepreneur and CEO, a leading voice in leadership and personal transformation. From building her success from the ground up to inspiring others to unlock their own potential, Hanan’s journey is a powerful reminder that action — not just belief — creates real change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
