    The Decisions You Keep Walking Around | Ownership & Leadership

    Sometimes preparing for what comes next isn’t about adding something new. Sometimes it’s about finally dealing with what you’ve been walking around for far too long. During my summer break, I spent quite a lot of time doing exactly that — literally — while clearing our basement. One of the things standing there was my grandparents’ old grandfather clock. It had enormous sentimental value, but for almost 18 years I had never quite decided what to do with it. This summer, I finally did. And as I restored the clock, gave it a new purpose and cleared out everything else around it, the basement became an unexpected lesson in leadership. In this Leadership Stories episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., I explore Ownership in the CONFIDENT Framework — taking responsibility for our choices, our growth and the way we lead. Because postponed decisions do not necessarily stop costing us something. They can still take up mental space, emotional space, energy and attention. I also reflect on a lesson I keep having to remind myself of when leading change: Other people cannot see the picture inside your head. When a future direction feels completely clear to us, we can easily assume we have communicated it just as clearly to everyone else. Most probably, we haven’t. And what we initially interpret as resistance may instead be missing information, unclear value, concern about what might be lost — or even insight we need to hear. 00:12 What preparing for a new season might really mean00:35 A quick request to follow the podcast01:23 Back to everyday life after the hammock series02:36 The basement and a collection of unmade decisions03:28 My grandparents’ grandfather clock05:00 Giving the clock a new purpose06:14 Seeing the future picture as a leadership strength07:08 Other people cannot see inside your head07:49 What this means when leading change08:21 Is it really resistance?08:58 A better question for leaders to ask09:47 What the rest of the basement taught me11:16 The unmade decisions we carry12:27 Why postponed decisions still cost us12:34 Ownership in the CONFIDENT Framework13:07 What actually deserves to come with you?13:54 The coaching question14:29 What happens when you finally decide15:07 Unfinished versus ignored15:45 What to carry into the next season16:05 Take your next step What decision have you been postponing that, if you made it now, would create more space for the season ahead? Just one. Don’t mentally renovate your entire basement. Perhaps it needs to stay, but in a different form.Perhaps it needs a new purpose.Perhaps it needs a conversation or a deadline.Or perhaps you already know it needs to go. If this episode gives you something to reflect on, I’d love to hear what resonated with you. And if you know another leader who is carrying a few too many boxes — literally or metaphorically — share this episode with them. Follow Confident Leadership.

    One Small Step: Self-Leadership Before the Perfect Plan

    What if the next step is not meant to carry the whole journey — only to create movement? In this final episode of the summer series, Hanna Zaxmy closes the hammock reflections with the N – Next Step part of the CONFIDENT Framework. After weeks of pausing, noticing, listening and reflecting, this episode invites you to turn awareness into one small, intentional movement. Because reflection matters — but it is not meant to become a hiding place. You do not need the perfect plan before you begin. Sometimes, one small step, one safe test, or one honest movement gives you more clarity than another week of thinking. In this short In-Light Moment, Hanna explores the paper plane metaphor, the power of a test throw, and why “good enough for now and safe enough to try” can be a beautiful leadership practice. Use the extra time from this short episode to reflect, journal or take one small action today. Reflection question:What is the one small step I can take before I try to solve the whole thing?

    Listen with Presence: Empathy, Emotional Intelligence and Self-Leadership

    What if empathy in leadership begins before you try to fix anything? In this short In-Light Moment from Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy continues the hammock reflection series through the CONFIDENT Framework — arriving at E for Empathy. This episode explores how listening with presence can help others feel seen, heard and valued. Empathy is not always about having the right answer, carrying everything for someone else or rushing to solve the situation. Sometimes, empathy begins with a simple invitation: Tell me more. You’ll be invited to reflect on one question this week: Who needs me to listen with more presence this week? Use the extra minutes after this short episode to reflect, journal, take a walk or reach out to one person who may need your presence more than your solution.

    Small Rhythms for Sustainable Leadership: Discipline and Self-Leadership

    What do you already know — but have not yet listened to? In this short In-Light Moments episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy explores intuition as part of the CONFIDENT Framework and invites you into a simple self-leadership reflection. Intuition is not about ignoring wisdom, making random decisions or following every feeling without reflection. It is about learning to listen inwardly with honesty, awareness and care.

This episode is an invitation to pause, walk without new input, and ask yourself: What do I already know, but have not yet listened to?

    What feels true about the leader you are becoming? In this short In-Light Moments episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy invites you into a gentle leadership reflection connected to Truth in the CONFIDENT Framework. Before we move into focus, decisions or next steps, it can help to pause and notice what is already becoming clearer, steadier and more aligned within us.
