The most confident are not the loudest in the room.

In this powerful conversation, Shannon sits down with award-winning leadership strategist, TEDx speaker, and behavioral researcher Shadé Zahrai to explore the deeper roots of imposter syndrome—and how to build the kind of confidence that doesn’t need to shout.

Together, they unpack what real self-trust looks like, why even high performers still second-guess themselves, and the four psychological shifts that can help you lead with clarity, calm, and quiet authority.

This episode is an invitation to stop over-questioning yourself, and start building the inner foundation that makes you the kind of leader people choose to follow.

✨ You’ll learn:

• Why the confidence-competence loop keeps so many leaders stuck
