"Maybe it’s not the right time to change job. I’ll just stay where I am a bit longer.”
If you’ve ever said something like this to yourself, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., I share a real story from a cloakroom in Stockholm – where my manager gave me an ultimatum:
leave my leadership training immediately or risk losing my job.

Caught between fear of losing my role and fear of abandoning myself, I had to decide:
stay or go?

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How fear often hides behind “not the right time”

• The turning point that helped me reconnect with my values, vision and passion

• Why clarity doesn’t always mean changing job – sometimes it means owning where you are

• A reflection exercise to help you notice what has guided your own big decisions

You’ll also hear how this moment shaped the way I work with leaders today, and why Clarity is the first step in the CONFIDENT framework.

Sometimes the most powerful lessons show up in the most unexpected ways — like when you find yourself dressed up as a door at a party. 🚪

In this episode, Hanna Zaxmy shares a light-hearted yet deeply reflective story about discovering courage, opportunity, and the boundaries that define what’s truly yours to open.

Through the metaphor of a door, you’ll explore:
💡 What keeps us from stepping through new opportunities
💬 How to know which “knocks” in life are yours to answer — and which are not
✨ Why confidence often begins with closing one door before opening another

It’s a warm, thoughtful reminder that leadership — and life — isn’t about rushing through every open door, but about finding the courage to choose the ones that align with who you are.

If you’ve ever hesitated before taking a step towards something you really want — this one’s for you.
