What happens in the space between courage and opportunity?
In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour. bjuder Hanna Zaxmyleadership coach and founder of Migmatit – shares a playful yet profound reflection on how a purple door costume at a FriendsFriends-themed party became a symbol of leadership, self-awareness and trust in one’s own direction.
Through the story of the purple door, Hanna explores what happens when we stand at the threshold of new opportunities – and how we sometimes hesitate to open the door out of fear, exhaustion or doubt.
She shares insights from her coaching conversations and shows how leadership is about daring to choose which doors are truly ours to open– and which ones need to stay closed to protect our energy, focus and balance.

- Self-leadership and courage in times of change
- How to recognise the right opportunities – and say no to the wrong ones
- The balance between responsibility, boundaries and trust
- Leading yourself with colour, heart and presence
It’s a warm, human and thought-provoking reflection on courage, direction and self-trust – a reminder that every step begins with the courage to reach for the handle.
