Unlocking Your Unfair Advantage with John Little
Manage episode 490336693 series 3552302
Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about knowing the right questions to ask. In this episode of Speaking with Confidence, host I am joined by nationally recognized executive performance coach John Little to explore the real work behind powerful communication and authentic leadership.
With over 25 years of coaching and consulting experience, John shares how his EMBRACE framework helps professionals overcome imposter syndrome, build real confidence, and communicate with clarity. Together, we unpack the subtle difference between ego and confidence, the impact of generational communication styles, and why trust is the foundation of leadership, not charisma.
If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t “enough” in a room full of leaders, or you’re tired of faking it just to keep up, this conversation is your permission slip to lead with what makes you unique.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why imposter syndrome might be a sign of potential
- How technology is reshaping (and sometimes ruining) our communication instincts
- The “unfair advantage” hiding in your personal story
- Ego vs. confidence: How they really show up in the workplace
- Practical strategies for building trust and influence as a leader
- Why humility, storytelling, and listening are the new power tools of leadership
Whether you’re new to leadership or a seasoned executive, John’s insights will help you show up with more presence, purpose, and confidence.
