Key Takeaways:

• Confidence comes from conviction. Knowing your business, understanding your craft, and preparing well are essential to overcoming imposter thoughts.
• Leadership isn’t about title—it’s about influence. Just because you have authority doesn’t mean people will follow. You have to earn their trust and respect.
• Timing and delivery matter. Being strategic in when and how you contribute can make all the difference in your impact.
• Vulnerability fosters connection. Sharing struggles, acknowledging challenges, and showing humanity as a leader creates a stronger, more trusting culture.
