Why You Should Speak Up as a Leader — Finding Your Confidence and Your Voice

In this episode of The Manager Matt Podcast, host Matt Haddock explores one of the most common challenges leaders face — finding the confidence to speak up.

Whether it’s in a boardroom, team meeting, or one-to-one, too many capable leaders hold back valuable thoughts and ideas. Matt breaks down why this happens — from fear of being wrong to imposter syndrome — and shows you how to find your voice, build your confidence, and make your input count.

You’ll learn:
 ✅ Why silence costs more than mistakes
 ✅ How to speak up with confidence — without being loud
 ✅ Simple techniques to make sure your ideas are heard and respected
 ✅ How quiet leaders can turn listening into influence
 ✅ Why confidence comes from competence — not ego

If you’ve ever hesitated in a meeting or second-guessed your value, this episode will help you step forward, speak up, and lead with impact.

Because if you don’t speak up… you can’t lead up.
