E20 | Why do I Doubt Myself Even When I know The Answer?

In this episode Damian and Elaine continue Chapter 3 — Mindset Is Everything: Developing Your Inner Coach. They explore how our inner conversation either supports or sabotages progress, and Damian shares a personal story about discipline, self-trust, and the habits that built his own inner coach. We dig into Pam McLean’s framework—presence, emotional awareness, boundaries, systems, courage, and embodiment—and practical steps to regulate emotion in a VUCA/BUNNY world (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous → brittle, anxious, non-linear, incomprehensible).

The conversation also tackles modern supports: when to seek help, how AI “agents” might augment leadership, and simple daily practices leaders can use to cultivate mindfulness, reflective space, and better decision-making. Tune in for actionable tips on listening to your inner voice, creating nonjudgmental reflective time, and inviting others to help you grow — because leadership starts from the inside out.
