For Senior Executives & Managers
IF SELF-DOUBT STILL FOLLOWS YOU INTO LEADERSHIP, THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU BREAK FREE & LEAD WITH CONFIDENCE
WHO IS THIS FOR?
For executives and managers who are tired of second-guessing themselves, hesitating in key moments, and watching others lead with the confidence they know they should have.
You’ve worked hard to get Here...
But you still feel like a fraud. No matter how much experience you have, that voice in your head keeps whispering, “You’re not ready yet.” Meanwhile, others with half your expertise step into leadership effortlessly.
You Hesitate To Speak Up When It Counts...
And when you do, you second-guess yourself. You replay conversations in your head, wondering if you sounded smart enough, confident enough, leaderly enough. You watch others get listened to, while you’re overlooked.
You Overwork, Over-Explain...
And still feel undervalued. You take on more than your peers to prove your worth, but instead of recognition, you just get more work. You know you’re capable, but you don’t know how to command respect without constantly proving yourself.
Stop Hesitating. Start Leading.

After 30+ years in Senior Leadership and Coaching Executives, CEOs, and High-Level Managers, I Can Tell You This:
Most executives don’t talk about impostor syndrome. But it’s the #1 issue holding leaders back.
My name is Anthony Francis. And over the last 30 years I’ve worked with leaders at Diabetes UK, Mind (Mental Health Charity), Tesco, Reuters, and British Airways—brilliant, capable professionals who, from the outside, look confident, successful, and in control.
But behind closed doors, they hesitate.
They overthink every decision. They hold back in meetings, afraid to speak. They secretly wonder if they are qualified for the job. They work harder than everyone else—but still feel like they have something to prove.
And they watch as less experienced, less capable colleagues take the lead—simply because they show up like they belong.
That hesitation? That second-guessing? That feeling that you aren't the right person for the job? It’s not a lack of skill. It’s impostor syndrome.
But here’s what most leadership books won’t tell you: Impostor syndrome isn’t one vague problem—it’s five specific patterns.
And each one has its own way of keeping leaders stuck.
That’s why I created The Confident Leader’s Guide—to help leaders like you identify your exact impostor type and map out a real, actionable path forward.
Because once you understand what’s been holding you back, you can finally break the cycle—and start leading with the confidence you already deserve.
