Have you ever stepped into a leadership role in sterile processing and felt like a fraud waiting to be exposed? That nagging voice questioning whether you're qualified to lead isn't just your imagination – it's imposter syndrome, and it affects countless skilled professionals across healthcare.

This episode tackles the unique challenges facing new sterile processing leaders – from lead technicians suddenly managing former peers to managers carrying the weight of departmental responsibility. Rather than offering generic platitudes, we dive deep into role-specific strategies for building authentic confidence in your leadership position.

What sets this conversation apart is our focus on replacing self-doubt with what truly matters: authentic confidence, self-efficacy, and an empowered identity. These aren't just buzzwords – they're practical frameworks for recognizing your earned right to lead. Through specific examples and actionable advice, we explore how confidence shows up differently across various leadership roles, from the quiet strength of effective delegation to the clarity of purpose in staff education.

You'll discover how to transform your self-talk from undermining doubts to empowering affirmations. Learn why "I have earned this, I am growing, and I am enough" can revolutionize not just how you feel about yourself, but how you show up for your team every day. We break down exactly what confidence looks like in sterile processing leadership – not as flawless performance, but as being fully present without second-guessing your right to lead.

Whether you're struggling with leading former peers, feeling caught between staff and administration, or worried about making the wrong decisions, this episode offers tailored strategies to help you thrive. Because sterile processing leadership isn't about knowing everything – it's about trusting yourself to learn, lead, and listen with authentic confidence.
