Become a high-performing leader! Embrace “imposter syndrome” as natural growth, leading to greater authenticity, confidence, & team trust.
This episode features a conversation with Roxana Radulescu, Leadership & Team Development Consultant on Cansulta.
Most leaders don’t lack talent — they lack confidence at the moments it matters most. And truth is, even the strongest, smartest leaders experience self-doubt. What sets apart those who succeed from those who get stuck? They learn how to use it as a catalyst for growth.
Roxana coaches teams and leaders globally, emphasizing that confidence isn't something you just "have." It’s something you build, step by step — especially when your role, responsibilities, or environment are changing fast.
SUMMARY: Roxana shares how leaders often struggle with self-doubt, and how this limits their influence and team impact. She contrasts reactive leadership with a structured approach that builds confidence through clear communication, decisive action, and visible leadership presence. She highlights how consistent leadership practices can empower teams, drive better collaboration, and create measurable results.

- Why imposter feelings are normal — and what they signal about your growth
- How to move from self-doubt to self-trust using practical, repeatable habits

DETAILED SUMMARY
Roxana explores common challenges faced by leaders, focusing on confidence, self-doubt, and the need for transparent communication.
A key insight is that self-doubt is common, especially among high achievers, which can create an internal struggle to feel adequate in their roles. Roxana believes that confidence isn't a fixed trait; it's developed through action. Leaders must take initiative instead of waiting to feel confident.
Another critical theme discussed is the distinction between "imposter syndrome" and "imposter moments". Roxana urges listeners to recognize these moments as part of the journey and not a permanent state. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, urging leaders to recognize their communication styles and create a trusting environment that encourages open dialogue within their teams.
Roxana illustrates the transformative power of reframing challenges as opportunities for growth. Leaders can transform anxiety into motivation by viewing the stress from new responsibilities as a positive force, or 'eustress,' that drives them forward.
