Playing Big by Tara Mohr - How to Speak Up, Step Up, and Lead with Confidence - A Business Book Club Series

Playing Big by Tara Mohr is a powerful and practical book about leadership, confidence, and finding your voice — particularly for women navigating visibility and responsibility. Mohr explores the internal barriers that prevent capable people from stepping forward, including the inner critic, fear of judgement, and the belief that confidence must come before action. In this 5-minute book summary (extended edition), we explore how to work with fear instead of fighting it, how to access wiser inner guidance, and how to lead without waiting to feel ready. The episode applies these ideas to modern work and leadership — from speaking up in meetings to taking on bigger roles, sharing ideas, and setting boundaries. If you want to lead with clarity and courage — without becoming someone you’re not — this episode offers grounded, practical insight. Hosted by Hannah Hally, The Business Book Club brings together three empowering podcast series — 5-Minute Book Summaries, Icons of Influence, and Leadership Unpacked — sharing practical lessons, success stories, and leadership insights from the world’s most inspiring thinkers.
