Most leaders have private moments when they're unsure about the next step, question their decisions, or even wonder if they are the right person for the role. The challenge is that very few of us talk about it.

In this episode of Aren't Ya Tired Of?, Patti and Mark are joined by leadership expert Neena Newberry to explore the hidden doubts many managers and leaders face—from making important decisions with incomplete information to feeling pressure to appear confident when they're anything but.

Because great leadership isn't about feeling confident all the time—it's about knowing how to move forward.
