In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm joined by Marc Pitman, founder of the Concord Leadership Group and author of The Surprising Gift of Doubt, for a conversation about something even highly successful leaders experience: uncertainty. We talk about what happens when doubt starts creeping into your leadership, career, finances, or identity and why that uncertainty doesn't necessarily mean you're on the wrong path. Sometimes, it's an invitation to lead differently. In this conversation, we explore: Why self-doubt often surfaces when leaders enter a new season or level of growth How to separate failure from your identity and give yourself permission to get things wrong The difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing as a leader Why having safe people and strong support systems matters when you're carrying significant responsibility How scarcity, fear, and your inner critic can influence leadership decisions Why dropping the "mask and armor" can create more authentic collaboration and connection Practical tools for understanding your leadership style and working through moments of doubt Marc also shares some of the personal failures, pivots, and unexpected seasons that shaped the way he leads today. If you're navigating a season where the old answers aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different way to look at uncertainty, not as something you need to eliminate, but as information you can learn to lead through.
