Welcome to the Self-Led Leader!

If you struggle with speaking confidently, whether in meetings, on Zoom, or in everyday conversations, this episode is for you.

In this reflective episode, I’m sharing:

• The hidden reason you might be holding back when you speak (it’s not what you think)

• How your past and present environments quietly shape your confidence

• The real first step to building calm, authentic presence when you speak

The real reason people doubt themselves and lack confidence speaking? It often comes down to your environment.

In this episode, I leave you with two powerful reflection questions:

1. Where are you continuing to silence yourself because of who’s around you, or who’s been around you in the past?

2. What would shift if you stopped outsourcing your confidence to your environment and started building self-trust instead?
