The Confidence Myth: Why Smart Leaders Still Second-Guess Themselves

This episode challenges the idea that lack of confidence is the root problem for women leaders and reframes self-doubt as the weight of responsibility, discernment, and experience. Maureen (Mo) explains how clarity — not confidence — enables action, explores research on expertise and judgment, and introduces the LEAP model to help leaders make wise decisions amid uncertainty. Listeners are encouraged to identify one decision they’re postponing, distinguish certainty from confidence, and take a single actionable step toward progress.
