How can knowing yourself and what you uniquely offer become the foundation of a confidence that carries you through any room?
In this episode, I sit down with Zahra Bahrololoumi CBE, President & CEO of Salesforce UK & Ireland, to explore confidence from multiple perspectives: the power of self-knowledge in a world being reshaped by AI, the courage to run toward the roles nobody else wants, and what it means to lead with both conviction and humility.
Zahra shares remarkable stories from her career and her life. We dive into how resilience, action and a deep understanding of your own strengths shape lasting confidence, whether in a boardroom, on a stage in front of thousands, or in the moment someone tells you to be more like someone you could never be.
