BIG IDEA
Confidence doesn’t come first—it comes through resilience. True leadership confidence is earned in the hard moments, forged by experience, and grounded in honoring your Core Values. If you want to lead with authenticity and impact, resilience isn’t optional—it’s foundational.

5 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

• Recognize emotional bypassing in yourself and others—name the struggle honestly.
• Reflect on which of your Core Values is being honored or dishonored in hard moments.
• Reframe your narrative by shifting from “this is a disaster” to “this is an opportunity.”
• Practice micro-courage daily—small brave acts build leadership muscle.
• Seek perspective and invite others to speak into your blind spots.

3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

• What’s one challenge you’ve overcome that truly shaped your confidence?
• How did you grow through it—not just recover?
• Where did your Core Values show up in that process?

💡 1 BIG Idea:

Leadership isn’t just about the decisions you make—it’s about the responsibility you take. Every action, tone, and message you deliver creates ripples through your team, shaping culture, morale, and results. When you lead with awareness and accountability, you transform your impact from accidental to intentional.

✅ 4 Ways to Apply This:

• Recognize the choices you’re making and how they affect your team—even in subtle ways.
• Reflect on whether those choices align with your Core Values and the culture you want to build.
• Respond by adjusting your leadership with purpose, humility, and clarity.
• Model accountability by owning your outcomes and inviting growth—not blame.
  
  

❓ 3 Questions to Ask Yourself:

• When was the last time I took full responsibility for a leadership decision?
• Am I creating a culture of blame, fear, or silence—or one of trust and growth?
• What kind of ripple effect do I want my leadership to create?
