## Resource

It’s not a lack of confidence holding you back. It’s trusting yourself to make the call, even when the outcome is unknown. After coaching hundreds of women over the past five years, I’ve seen that the ability to act despite uncertainty is what separates capable leaders from confident ones. In this episode, I show you why self-trust is the foundation of leadership and how to build it even when you’re scared, uncertain, or hearing no.
