    Confidence Before Visibility: Breaking Taboos and Leading with Psychological Safety with Tina Holmes

    What comes first in a career — confidence or visibility? In this episode of It’s In You, I sit down with Tina Holmes to explore one of the most misunderstood dynamics in women’s careers. Together, we unpack why so many capable women wait to feel “ready,” why confidence often grows after action (not before), and how breaking taboos can become a powerful leadership tool. Tina brings a refreshing mix of clarity, honesty, and experience from working in complex organisational environments. We talk openly about vulnerability, psychological safety, and the hidden impact of company culture on self-confidence and growth. This conversation is an invitation to stop waiting, start trusting yourself — and become visible without losing authenticity.
