What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't a lack of confidence...but caring too much about what other people think?

In this episode of Leading You, Julie Hyde shares a simple moment from a morning walk that became an unexpected lesson in self-leadership. Watching a father joyfully sing to his baby daughter without worrying who might be listening sparked a powerful question...

How much of your life are you editing because of an audience that isn't even watching?

Julie explores why fear of judgement shapes our decisions more than we realise, how self-editing chips away at our confidence, and why authentic leadership begins with giving yourself permission to simply be yourself.

In this episode:
Why fear of judgement quietly influences our choices.
How self-editing affects confidence and leadership.
The hidden cost of trying to meet other people's expectations.
Why authenticity is one of the greatest acts of self-leadership.
A simple question that could change the way you show up.

How they’ve stayed anchored to who they are, insights into their courage and resilience and how to be emotionally and behaviourally agile. It’s a conversation, not an interrogation, and you’ll hear the human side of household names.
