False Security vs. Confidence - Dr. Don Barden on What Really Builds Trust in Leadership

Confidence isn’t bravado—it’s built on commitment, courage, and capability.
In this clip, Dr. Don Barden, author of Here Come the Girls, explains why real confidence in leadership is never fake-it-till-you-make-it—it’s earned.

We talk about the difference between hopeful optimism and strategic certainty, and how great leaders create a sense of calm and clarity that others rally behind.

This is just one of many powerful insights from our conversation about the rise of women in leadership and the new era of inclusive, collaborative success.

Transcript
00:00If you make a commitment, if you're courageous, and then if you have sought out the capabilities
00:04and trained and learned how to do this, then you're allowed to be confident. So most people
00:09say, well, I'm already confident in my business. I'm not going to do this, or we'll work on it.
00:13That's a lie. Confidence is a byproduct of commitment, courage, and capabilities.
00:18And it's only there long enough for you to reset the bar.
