Confidence in Your Advertising Career Starts Here

We often think confidence comes from knowing all the answers and flawlessly navigating every situation. But what if true confidence—the kind that lasts—comes from being completely comfortable with failure?

Hi, I’m Robespierre. I’ve spent the last 9 years working in advertising and over 14 years building my career. Along the way, I’ve made mistakes, missed opportunities, and had my fair share of awkward or humbling moments—in both my professional and personal life.

Every failure has been a stepping stone. Painful, yes—but also powerful. These experiences have helped me develop emotional endurance, a critical skill for anyone looking to thrive in the fast-paced world of advertising.

Whether I’m pitching to a client, walking into a networking event, meeting new people, or speaking on stage—I still get nervous. Confidence doesn’t mean being fearless or flawless. It means trusting that, no matter what happens, you’ll move forward stronger.

TL;DR – What Real Confidence Looks Like in Advertising:

• It’s not about perfection — it’s about learning to fail and bounce back smarter.
• Feeling nervous is a sign that you care, not that you're unprepared.
• Self-trust grows with every tough moment you overcome.
