In part 2 of their mini-series on confidence, Rich and Dave explore the Confidence Compass, a practical tool designed by Zentano to help leaders develop a grounded, sustainable and healthy sense of confidence. Building on their previous conversation about emotional intelligence and humility, this episode helps you visualise a model that unpacks the interaction between self-worth and competence.

Together, Rich and Dave identify four unhelpful confidence styles: The Self-Doubter, The Perpetual Striver, The Pretender, and The Overachiever, and discuss how leaders can move toward the Connected Centre, where true confidence lives.

Whether you're leading a team, coaching others, or working on your own self-development, this episode provides insight and tools to build resilience and reflect on the stories that shape your confidence.
