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.

Truth in leadership is not about finding one perfect answer or performing a polished version of yourself. It is about listening for what feels honest, grounded and alive now.

This episode is a hammock reflection for your Leadership Palette — created for a walk, a quiet coffee moment, a journal pause or a few minutes where you finally have space to hear yourself think.

In this episode, you’ll reflect on:

What feels true about the leader you are becoming
Why identity matters in self-leadership
How truth can guide focus, habits and next steps
The difference between becoming someone else and becoming more fully yourself
Three simple journal prompts to explore your leadership identity

Reflection question:
What feels true about the leader I am becoming?

Journal prompts:
I am becoming a leader who…
I no longer want to lead from…
I want to lead with more…

What would support you to lead from a steadier place?

In this short In-Light Moment, Hanna Zaxmy continues the summer series Hammock Reflections for Your Leadership Palette and moves into N – Nurture in the CONFIDENT Framework.

After reflecting on Ownership in the previous episode, this episode invites you to notice what helps you carry what is truly yours with more steadiness, clarity and care.

Because leadership is not only shaped by what you know, your experience or your plans. It is also shaped by the state you lead from.

When you are rushed, tired or overwhelmed, you may listen, respond and decide differently. But when you lead from a steadier place, you often have more access to patience, courage, empathy and clarity.

This episode offers a simple reflection exercise for your extra ten minutes today:

Create two lists:

1. What steadies me?
2. What drains my steadiness?

Then choose one small supportive action that helps you lead from a steadier place today.

What if joy is not just a lovely feeling — but a clue to your clarity?

In this short In-Light Moment of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy invites you into a gentle summer reflection from the hammock, the walk, the quiet coffee moment — or wherever you finally have space to hear yourself think.

This episode continues the Hammock Reflections summer series and stays connected to Clarity in the CONFIDENT Framework. Instead of asking what needs to be solved, Hanna invites you to ask:

What has sparked joy in the last six months?

Not as a way to avoid what is difficult, but as a way to notice where energy, meaning, colour and aliveness have already been present. Joy can be a clue. Not the whole answer, but a colour on your Leadership Palette worth noticing.

Use this episode as a short leadership reflection — and then take 10 extra minutes to journal, walk, breathe or look back through your camera roll and notice where joy has been showing up.

In this episode:
• Why joy can support clarity in self-leadership
• How to notice patterns in what gives you energy
• Why joy is not always shallow or easy
• A simple reflection question for your next season
• How your camera roll can become a map of meaning and colour

Reflection question:
What has brought joy in the last six months?

What is asking for your attention right now?

In this first episode of the summer series In-Light Moments – Hammock Reflections for Your Leadership Palette, Hanna invites you into a short clarity reflection for your self-leadership.

Instead of rushing into action, this episode creates space to pause, notice and listen inwardly. Sometimes clarity begins not with a big plan, but with one honest question:

What is asking for my attention right now?

This episode connects to the C – Clarity part of the CONFIDENT Framework and is designed to give you one question to carry with you on a walk, with your coffee, in the hammock or during a quiet summer moment.

Use the extra time after listening to reflect, journal, pray, walk, breathe or simply notice what is already moving within you.

Be confident – Be you.

In this personal and stripped-back episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna speaks directly to the listener who is longing for change, but quietly thinking: “I could never do that.”

Through an honest reflection on comparison, courage, faith, self-leadership and small beginnings, this episode explores the Truth part of the CONFIDENT Framework — the courage to stop measuring your beginning against someone else’s five-year journey, and instead take one small step that is true for you.

This is not an episode about changing your whole life overnight.
It is an invitation to notice the one millimetre of courage you already have — and let that be enough for today.

In this episode, you’ll reflect on:

• Why comparison can shrink your own longing
• How courage often begins in hidden, almost invisible places
• Why small steps still count as real movement
• What it means to take a step that is true for you
• How self-leadership begins with honesty, not perfection

What if the sign of growth is not that you never lose momentum — but that you are willing to start again?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy shares a shortened and adapted version of a sermon about life as learner-driving, habits, faith and the courage to continue.

Through the image of keeping the L-plate on, Hanna reflects on what it means to build habits from the heart — not from pressure, performance or trying to become someone else, but from identity, faith and what God has already placed within you.

This episode connects to the Discipline part of the CONFIDENT Framework: building helpful habits, consistency and intentional action over time.

You’ll be invited to reflect on where you may have lost momentum, where you may have slipped back into an old pattern, and what small faithful practice could help you continue this week.

Follow the podcast for more reflections on self-leadership, faith, confidence and leading with courage, colour and heart.

In this personal and joyful episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy shares two beautiful pieces of news — a true full circle moment connected to the first and last letters of the CONFIDENT Framework: C for Clarity and T for Truth.

Hanna reflects on what it means when clarity does not arrive as a perfectly detailed map, but slowly unfolds through small steps, inner friction, faith, leadership development and lived experience. She shares that she is going to study Theology and Leadership, a path that will also allow her to become a Pastor, and that she is stepping into a new role as a Church Developer.

Through personal storytelling, Hanna looks back at a leadership programme she entered twelve years ago, when she sensed she was moving in the right direction — but not quite in the right place. Now, many years later, the picture has become clearer: leadership, faith, coaching, purpose, church development and colour are coming together on the same canvas.

This episode is for you if you are navigating a new chapter, sensing that something in your life is “rubbing a little”, or wondering how to listen more closely to what your inner friction might be trying to show you. Hanna invites you to become curious — not rushed, not afraid, but open — as clarity unfolds one brushstroke at a time and truth slowly becomes easier to name.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:
Clarity, Truth, the CONFIDENT Framework, self-leadership, faith, theology and leadership, church development, purpose-driven leadership, personal growth, following God’s direction, and what it means to lead yourself and others with courage, clarity, heart and colour.
