Are you really in your business - or are you mainly just busy reacting on everything around you?
In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour. Hanna Zaxmy explores the difference between being busy and actually leading. An episode about focus, ownership, and responsibility — and how easy it is for committed leaders to lose their sense of direction without even noticing.
Through a personal story from a hotel rooftop in India and a concrete client example, you’re invited to explore how both inner and outer circumstances shape where we place our energy — and what happens when we step out of the victim role and back into our own area of responsibility.
In this episode we reflect around:
- Why ‘having a lot to do’ doesn’t always mean you’re leading.
- How short-term urgency can take over long-term direction.
- What it means to take full ownership of what you can actually control.
- The difference between reacting and leading with intention.
Do you recognise that feeling of being productive, helpful, and tired — yet still wondering whether what you’re doing is actually leading you where you want to go?
Then this episode is for you.
This is a reflective and grounded conversation about self-leadership, focus, and the courage to choose where you place your attention — as a leader and as a human being.
