Leadership isn’t just about what you can do. It's also about how you show up. Too often, women leaders feel the tension between being competent and being confident. Lean too far into competence, and you risk being overlooked. Lean too far into confidence, and you risk being dismissed as arrogant.

In this episode, we’ll explore how to integrate both:

  • Why competence is the foundation, but not enough on its own
  • How confidence acts as the amplifier that makes your skills visible
  • The common traps leaders fall into like the “invisible expert” or the “confident pretender”
  • Practical steps to strengthen both competence and confidence in daily leadership
  • How mentors and sponsors can help you step fully into your leadership potential

The goal isn’t to choose between confidence or competence. It’s to own both, and lead with presence, credibility, and impact.
