Are you truly in your business — or are you just busy reacting to everything around you?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy explores the subtle but powerful difference between being busy and being in business — and why so many capable, committed leaders slowly lose focus without noticing.

Through a personal story from a hotel rooftop in India, and a real client example, this episode unpacks how ownership and focus shape the way we lead ourselves, make decisions, and create long-term impact.

You’ll be invited to reflect on:

• Why being busy doesn’t automatically mean you’re leading

• How short-term urgency can quietly replace long-term direction

• What it really means to take ownership of your focus

• Where your energy is best spent — and where it isn’t

If you’ve ever felt productive yet slightly off track, or ended a week wondering “Did this actually move what matters?”, this episode is for you.

This is a reflective, grounded conversation about leadership, responsibility, and choosing where to place your attention — with intention.

What if the way you speak to yourself is quietly shaping your confidence — and the way you show up as a leader?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., leadership coach Hanna Zaxmy explores the inner dialogue many high-performing leaders carry — the doubts, questions, and self-criticism that often go unnoticed, yet influence both presence and decision-making under pressure.

Inspired by a quote from Audrey Hepburn —
“Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible.’” —
this episode invites you to shift from self-doubt to a more grounded, compassionate way of leading yourself.

Through personal reflection and a real client story, Hanna explores:

• How self-talk quietly repeats itself in everyday leadership

• Why thoughts don’t stay on the inside — they show up in posture, breath, and communication

• How empathy towards yourself creates space for learning instead of self-blame

• What it really means to take responsibility without punishing yourself

• Simple, practical ways to regulate yourself when things feel out of control

This episode is for you if you:

• Feel confident on the outside but doubtful on the inside

• Lead others while quietly questioning yourself

• Want to lead with more calm, clarity, and self-trust

• Are navigating pressure, uncertainty, or emotionally demanding situations

What if growth isn’t only about effort — but about where you’re trying to grow?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., leadership coach Hanna Zaxmy explores the power of environment in leadership growth — and why even capable, driven leaders can feel stuck, muted, or drained in the wrong surroundings.

Through personal leadership stories and thoughtful reflection, Hanna invites you to look beyond habits and goals and instead ask a deeper question:
Are the environments you’re part of helping you grow — or quietly holding you back?

In this episode, you’ll reflect on:

• Why environment plays a crucial role in leadership development

• How teams, cultures, and relationships shape confidence and behaviour

• What it means to choose environments that allow you — and others — to flourish

• How growth often happens together, not alone

This is an episode for thoughtful leaders who want to grow with intention — not just push harder.
An invitation to pause, reflect, and consciously choose the places where you belong.

🎨 Leadership isn’t built in isolation. It grows in relationship — in the right places.
