The way you speak to yourself shapes more than you might realise — your confidence, your leadership, and how others experience you.

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour. leadership coach Hanna Zaxmy explores how inner dialogue, self-doubt, and unconscious self-criticism can influence both our presence and our decisions — especially in pressurised situations.

Inspired by a quote from Audrey Hepburn —
“Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible.’”
Hanna invites a shift in perspective: from getting stuck in self-doubt to leading yourself with greater empathy, truth, and self-trust.

The episode weaves together personal reflection and a real client story, and explores:

  • How self-doubt often repeats quietly — and shapes us over time
  • Why our thoughts “leak” through body language, breathing, and communication
  • How empathy towards yourself creates space for learning instead of self-blame
  • What it really means to take responsibility without punishing yourself
  • Simple, practical ways to regulate yourself when things feel out of control

This episode is for you if you:

  • Lead others while being hard on yourself in silence
  • You are competent, still doubting your own capabilities
  • Want to build sustainable self-leadership rooted in clarity and confidence
  • Want to lead with heart, presence, and grounded confidence

A reflective and down-to-earth episode about being human, making mistakes, learning — and still standing steady in who you are.
