Confidence & Authenticity: Who Are You When You're Not Being Who Everyone Else Needs You to Be?

In the third and final installment of the Confidence Series, Leanna explores a confidence killer that often flies under the radar: the compulsion to shape-shift in response to others' expectations.

Adapting oneself to meet the needs and preferences of others, aka being a chameleon, is a skill many high-achieving women have mastered. It can be a superpower. But when done unconsciously, it chips away at our confidence, erodes our self-trust, and feeds imposter syndrome. In this episode, Leanna shares how to bring intentionality and authenticity back into the way we show up at work and at home.

Whether you’ve ever walked away from a meeting wondering, “Was I enough?” or felt the pressure to be all things to all people, this episode is for you.

Key Topics:

  • Why being a chameleon can erode self confidence and create imposter syndrome
  • How to stop outsourcing your identity
  • What it means to show up with intention
  • Two exercises to start reclaiming your confidence today
