The Confidence Factor: Cosmic Gooses Lay Golden Eggs. The survey within it was underwritten by a Fortune 500
companyâBristol Myers Squibb. As the spokesperson for one of its products, I crisscrossed the country doing media, talking about where confidence came from based on the findings of 6,000 respondents, and polishing my media and speaking skills. And writing the book. When it was finally published, one of Bristol Myers Squibbâs publicity firms supported the book launch.
