E29 How New CEOs Build Confidence

Episode Notes

In this episode of the 3Peak Master Leadership Experience, co-founders Mino Vlachos and Dr. Mazen Harb dive into one of the most critical challenges for new CEOs: building confidence in the face of uncertainty. Drawing from years of experience coaching executive leaders, they explore why even talented leaders can second-guess themselves, struggle with imposter syndrome, or feel unprepared for the demands of the role.

Mino and Mazen break down practical strategies for cultivating confidence, including:

• Understanding your strengths—and acknowledging your blind spots
• Learning essential CEO skills while embracing the uncertainty of the role
• Managing mind chatter, fear, and self-doubt to stay grounded and focused
• Creating clarity around key responsibilities and expectations

Whether you’re a new CEO, an aspiring executive, or a leader navigating high-stakes challenges, this conversation offers insights on how to grow confidence through self-awareness, deliberate practice, and consistent action.
