099: Joanna Howes: Building Confidence: The Journey to Backing Yourself as a Leader
Show Notes

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I’m talking about the art of backing yourself as a leader. This is a topic that is very close to my heart and I wanted to spend some time discussing it today.

I’m debunking the myths surrounding self-assurance and arrogance and why backing yourself isn’t arrogance, it’s actually caring for yourself, celebrating what you're able to do, and loving who you are.

I also discuss why you have to learn to empower yourself through investing in you and building that trust with yourself and what you’re capable of.

Key takeaways include:

● Sharing my personal journey with low self-confidence
● Exploring the craving for external validation and its implications
● Embracing the highs and lows of confidence in leadership roles
● Recognising the tendencies of leaders lacking self-backing
● Encouraging personal growth through stepping out of comfort zones
● Elevating performance by setting higher standards for oneself
