Michael Clarke has been called abrasive and polarising… flashy and arrogant.
But when I sat down with him to talk about confidence, I found someone refreshingly real and delightfully introspective who’s learned a lot of lessons in the fire of life.
As one of the best batsmen of all time who went on to become Australia’s 43rd cricket captain, it might surprise you to learn the swagger was all a bit of a show.
“All through my career, even from a young boy when I started, I always got nervous.”
In this conversation we cover the glamorous girlfriends, the insane media attention and his biggest and best confidence journey to date- as a single dad.
So here's Michael Clarke, on Claiming his Confidence.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
