Leadership Expert: How To Develop Big Trust And Unshakeable Confidence | Shadé Zahrai

Описание: Most people think confidence comes from success.
In reality, confidence comes from self-trust—and most people never learn how to build it.

In this episode of The Mark Divine Show, Mark sits down with Shadé Zahrai, award-winning leadership strategist, Harvard-trained researcher, and author of Big Trust.

Together, they unpack why:
Self-doubt is not the enemy—it’s a signal
Psychological safety fails when people don’t trust themselves
Waiting to “feel confident” keeps people stuck
Inner critics sabotage leadership, performance, and relationships
True confidence is built through trust, not validation

Shadé introduces her Big Trust framework, breaking down:
The four core traits that shape self-image
The internal archetypes that quietly run your behavior
How to turn doubt into data instead of self-sabotage
Why self-trust must come before action, not after
Practical tools to quiet the inner critic and lead with clarity

This conversation bridges neuroscience, leadership psychology, and lived experience to help you stop outsourcing your worth—and start trusting yourself under pressure.

If you’ve ever felt capable but hesitant, accomplished but unsure, or driven but internally conflicted—this episode will give you language, structure, and tools to change that.
