    This episode touches on the theme of Practical Psychology and Developing Leaders.

    In this episode, we explore the operational and leadership side of self-trust.

    Our prescription for this episode is to find a practice or system that can help you navigate the unfamiliar waters that come with leadership. We recommend our Integrity Leadership framework, but it is important to find a method that works for you.

    This is PART 2 of this topic, so look for PART 1, which launched last week, where we dug into the psychology around self-trust.

  • How Do New Leaders Learn to Trust Themselves? - PART 1
    May 6 2026

    Send us a Message! (But we can’t respond, so feel free to email us at info@roman3.ca)

    This episode touches on the theme of Practical Psychology and Developing Leaders.

    In this episode, we explore the psychology behind building self-trust. We combat myths and struggles like "Fake it, till you make it" and Imposter Syndrome.

    Our prescription for this episode is to lean into vulnerability and curiosity. We need to create self-efficacy and confidence that even though we don't have all the answers immediately, we can figure things out.

    This PART 1, as we really dug into this topic, so look for PART 2 to launch May 13th (next week) at our normal time.
