Shownotes

Self-trust expands when you stop trying to be perfect and start trusting yourself to adjust.

In this episode, I explore why the pressure to "get it right" often stems from fear and how releasing that pressure can help you build deeper self-trust.

Humans are wired for survival, which makes us naturally fearful; but most modern leadership challenges are not about life-or-death situations. When we’re driven by fear, we become tense and closed off, making it harder to access intuition and wisdom.

Self trust grows not from always being right but from being willing to learn, adjust, and focus on the greater good. Letting go of the need to be right allows wisdom to flow, decisions to become clearer, and leadership to feel more natural and grounded.

People respect leaders who own their mistakes, not those who pretend to have all the answers. And trust grows when you embrace learning and course correction instead of perfection.
