Changing jobs is more than accepting a new offer.

It’s a shift in identity, expectations, culture — and often in how you lead yourself.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Linda Lenox, we explore career change as a real change process. Before you say yes to a new role, there are questions that can protect you from repeating the same patterns in a different organisation.

In this episode, we explore:(00:00) Why changing jobs is a real change process
(02:00) Understanding your true reason for leaving
(03:45) Interviewing the company — not just being interviewed
(06:30) Defining success: 30-60-90 day clarity
(09:00) Company culture and values — real or just words?
(12:30) The honeymoon phase after a job change
(14:00) When the pattern you’re escaping might be your own
(16:30) Boundaries, over-functioning and self-leadership
(18:40) Identity, instinct and long-term career decisions
(20:00) Reflection questions before saying yes

If you’re considering a career move — or already navigating one — this episode will help you pause, reflect, and choose more consciously.

And if you want practical tools to strengthen your self-leadership in times of transition. Here is more info about my upcoming membership and articles Linda has written.

Leading change isn’t just about frameworks, strategy or project plans.
It begins with a more uncomfortable question:

Is the organisation truly ready for change?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., I’m joined by returning guest Linda Lenox as we explore what really determines whether organisational change succeeds — or quietly fails.

Many change initiatives don’t break down because of poor methodology. They fail because the people involved are not fully ready, aligned or supported.

We talk about:

(00:00) Are Organisations Truly Ready for Change?
(01:32) Why Change Fails: It’s About People, Not Plans
(04:33) “Everyone Should Change… Just Not Me”
(06:06) Identity Shift, Authority & Resistance
(07:11) Outsourcing & Extreme Organisational Change
(09:29) Interviewing the Employer Before You Say Yes
(11:23) The GPS Metaphor: Who Sets the Destination?
(12:33) When Senior Leaders Disengage
(14:43) What a Strong Change Setup Looks Like
(16:03) Red Flags: Vague Vision, No Budget, No Authority
(19:20) What Does Success Actually Look Like?
(21:33) Why 60–70% of Change Projects Fail
(23:00) Technical Success vs Real Business Success
(24:01) Doing Change For the Business — Not To IT
(26:06) IT as an Enabler of Business Transformation
(27:33) Final Reflection: Is This Change Real?

If you are stepping into a new role, being hired as a change agent, or leading transformation internally, this conversation will help you ask better questions — and protect both your credibility and your energy.

Leadership isn’t black and white.
It’s human. It’s strategic. It’s emotional.
And it’s in colour.

What does success really mean — for you?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy invites you into a calm, reflective conversation about redefining success in life and leadership. Beyond titles, money, performance, or external validation, this episode explores what success looks like when it’s rooted in wellbeing, clarity, confidence, and alignment.

This is not an episode about hustling or doing more.
It’s an invitation to pause — and to listen inward.

You’ll explore:

• What success means when it’s defined from the inside out

• Why comparing yourself to others quietly drains clarity and confidence

• How defining success reduces pressure and makes decisions feel lighter

• What it means to stop dimming yourself to fit expectations

• How success can become a compass for your next step in leadership and life

Hanna also shares a personal story about identity, confidence, and learning to show her full colours — and why that, today, is one of her clearest signs of success.

✨ Want to go deeper?
Hanna is currently creating a new confidence space (membership) for thoughtful leaders who want to continue these conversations over time — with reflection, structure, and practical tools that turn insight into sustainable action.

👉 You’ll find more information about the confidence space here: https://courses.migmatit.se/insidelist

If you’re a leader who feels capable but stretched, ambitious but reflective — this episode is for you.

Be confident. Be you.
