On episode 19 of Lead to Soar, Susan Colantuono, Michelle Redfern, and Mel Butcher sit down for a discussion on confidence... What is confidence? Where does confidence come from? How do you get it? Where does traditional advice on confidence go wrong? LINKS

She is the Founder of and now retired CEO of Leading Women, an international management consulting company focused on bringing gender balance to leadership teams.

NOTABLE EPISODE QUOTES “Confidence is not absolute.” -Susan Colantuono “Go beyond the headline. Go deeper. And think about - what does the CEO really want you to know... The CEO really wants you to know about being confident about how to run the business. Then ask yourself, is the advice you're getting about confidence really going to help you do that?\" - Michelle Redfern
