When confidence feels shaky, do you reflect the room—or set the tone? In this episode, leadership coach Hanna Zaxmy explores confidence through two vivid metaphors: light (lux levels) and temperature (thermometer vs thermostat). You’ll hear a personal story about work-related stress, recovery, and how clarity, choice and tiny next steps can turn the dial back up. We also unpack the CONFIDENT framework (Clarity, Ownership, Nurture, Focus, Intuition, Discipline, Empathy, Next Step, Truth) to help you lead yourself—and others—with steadier confidence.
