Why do so many capable people stay silent in the moments that matter most?

In this episode, Gary Cox talks with Leena Dattani about confidence, visibility and how to speak up in high-stakes rooms. From the boardroom moment, that changed everything, to the practical habits that helped her find her voice, Leena shares honest, useful advice for anyone who has ever held back at work.

You’ll hear ideas on managing nerves, reframing self-doubt, preparing to contribute in meetings and becoming more visible without losing authenticity.

We also talk about situational leadership and having the ability to flex your style whilst remaining authentic. When should leaders change course?

A practical, encouraging conversation for anyone ready to stop waiting for confidence and start speaking before they feel ready.
