In a TED Talks Daily episode featuring business leader Kat Cole, Cole argues that confidence is not something leaders wait for—it develops through taking action. She discusses her own career progression, describing how she rose from waitress to CEO of a global health company, and uses that background to frame her message about leadership mindset and momentum. Cole presents a practice she calls the “hot shot rule,” which she says helps people step into a leadership role and overcome inertia when they face moments that call for prompt decisions. The episode emphasizes acting decisively rather than overthinking or waiting for certainty. It presents the rule as a simple approach meant to encourage movement at the time it matters most, with the goal of reinforcing confidence through doing. The re-release notes that the talk originally aired in 2025, and that the episode is hosted on Acast. Across the sources, the central theme is the same: taking action comes first, and that action is portrayed as the basis for developing confidence and effective leadership.
