Confidence is not something women can simply command into place.
In this episode of Fearless Career Moves, Richa Bansal sits down with Dr. Jean Kantambu Latting, organizational consultant, leadership coach, Professor Emerita, and President of Leading Consciously, to talk about what it really takes for women to speak up, hold their ground, and put themselves first. Together, they unpack why the advice to “just be more confident” misses the deeper issue of worthiness, and why many women are still carrying old messages about being good, quiet, helpful, and easy to work with.
The conversation also covers Dr. Jean’s Conscious Change framework, including conscious influence, conscious agility, and you first. Richa and Dr. Jean discuss how women can balance warmth and competence, lead through influence when they do not have authority, use difference as an advantage, rewrite old stories, listen to what the body is signaling, and make small behavioral changes that support stronger boundaries and more authentic leadership.
Start listening and ask yourself where you might be waiting for permission to ask, speak up, set a boundary, or put yourself first. Tune in to the full episode of How To Speak Up, Hold Your Ground, And Put Yourself First with Dr. Jean Latting
