From Self-Doubt to Clarity & Confidence: Lead at Your Full Potential (with client Jay Bhakta)
Have you ever had a big vision for your life or work… but deep down wondered if you were the right person to lead it?
That's where Jay was when we first connected.
On paper, he had decades of success & a vision to help kids build emotional intelligence & financial literacy. But inside? Old belief patterns told him he wasn't ready. Mental obstacles kept him second-guessing himself & the path forward felt unclear.
Sound familiar?
For so many high-achieving leaders, the challenge isn't a lack of skill or drive — it's the quiet voice of self-doubt & the limiting beliefs that keep you from fully stepping into your potential.
In this episode, you'll hear how Jay moved from uncertainty to clarity & confidence. Through executive coaching, he dissolved years of beliefs holding him back, uncovered how he's wired to thrive, & reignited his passion at work & in life.
Today, he's no longer underestimating himself. He's leading with conviction, building his vision & showing what's possible when you operate from alignment instead of fear.
If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to lead at your full potential — with clarity, confidence & the energy to match your vision — this conversation is for you.
