How to Get What You Want

How to Lead When Confidence Wanes

Episode 174

If confidence were constant, leadership would be easy. But it’s not. One moment you feel solid, the next you’re second-guessing everything. That shift can throw off your presence, your voice, even your ability to ask for what you need.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why that happens, what it means about your leadership (hint: it’s not a flaw), and how to lead yourself through those moments. Confidence isn’t fixed, and the more you understand that, the more prepared you’ll be to show up the way you want.

In this episode, I’ll cover:

  • How to separate confidence from competence when it matters most
  • What to do when your confidence dips mid-meeting
  • A mindset shift that great negotiators use to stay grounded under pressure
