## Resource

In this episode, we explore the powerful relationship between confidence and competence, and why the strongest leaders intentionally develop both. While competence builds credibility through knowledge, experience, and skill, confidence gives us the courage to make decisions, speak up, embrace challenges, and lead through uncertainty.
