About

Confidence isn't a fixed trait and right now dips in confidence are affecting leaders at every level.

45% of executives already worry their skills are becoming obsolete. Senior leaders feel exposed by AI. Mid-career professionals are caught between old and new leadership expectations. Emerging talent questions whether they truly belong.

In this Winmark Power Hour session, we will look at how confidence shifts at key life and career stages, what strengthens it, what quietly undermines it, and how we can better support ourselves and those we lead.

Through an expert-led exploration of the “confidence curve” and the transitions that shape it, as well as powerful personal stories from speakers at different points in their careers, this session offers a fresh, practical way to understand confidence not as a fixed trait, but as something that goes through a natural cycle that affects all of us.

This Power Hour will address:

- A fresh framework on the confidence curve - why it shifts at key career stages and what drives those transitions
- Real stories from leaders at different points in their journey, showing how imposter feelings show up differently across generations
- Cross-generational insight that helps you navigate succession planning, retention, and leadership culture - not just "soft skills"
