When confidence feels shaky, do you reflect the room—or set the tone? In this episode, leadership coach Hanna Zaxmy explores confidence through two vivid metaphors: light (lux levels) and temperature (thermometer vs thermostat). You’ll hear a personal story about work-related stress, recovery, and how clarity, choice and tiny next steps can turn the dial back up. We also unpack the CONFIDENT framework (Clarity, Ownership, Nurture, Focus, Intuition, Discipline, Empathy, Next Step, Truth) to help you lead yourself—and others—with steadier confidence.In this episodeConfidence as light: raising your “lux level”Confidence as heat: thermometer vs thermostat leadershipA real moment from Hanna’s mastermind & a gentle reset from burnout signalsHow to apply the CONFIDENT framework in stormy timesMicro-moves to build leadership confidence todayReflection promptsWhere is your focus—on the waves around you, or on your direction?If confidence were light, how could you turn it up one step?Which CONFIDENT element is low on energy right now?
