Leading change isn’t just about frameworks, strategy or project plans.
It begins with a more uncomfortable question:

Is the organisation truly ready for change?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., I’m joined by returning guest Linda Lenox as we explore what really determines whether organisational change succeeds — or quietly fails.

Many change initiatives don’t break down because of poor methodology. They fail because the people involved are not fully ready, aligned or supported.

We talk about:

(00:00) Are Organisations Truly Ready for Change?
(01:32) Why Change Fails: It’s About People, Not Plans
(04:33) “Everyone Should Change… Just Not Me”
(06:06) Identity Shift, Authority & Resistance
(07:11) Outsourcing & Extreme Organisational Change
(09:29) Interviewing the Employer Before You Say Yes
(11:23) The GPS Metaphor: Who Sets the Destination?
(12:33) When Senior Leaders Disengage
(14:43) What a Strong Change Setup Looks Like
(16:03) Red Flags: Vague Vision, No Budget, No Authority
(19:20) What Does Success Actually Look Like?
(21:33) Why 60–70% of Change Projects Fail
(23:00) Technical Success vs Real Business Success
(24:01) Doing Change For the Business — Not To IT
(26:06) IT as an Enabler of Business Transformation
(27:33) Final Reflection: Is This Change Real?

If you are stepping into a new role, being hired as a change agent, or leading transformation internally, this conversation will help you ask better questions — and protect both your credibility and your energy.

It’s human. It’s strategic. It’s emotional.
And it’s in colour.

What does success really mean — for you?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy invites you into a calm, reflective conversation about redefining success in life and leadership. Beyond titles, money, performance, or external validation, this episode explores what success looks like when it’s rooted in wellbeing, clarity, confidence, and alignment.

This is not an episode about hustling or doing more.
It’s an invitation to pause — and to listen inward.

You’ll explore:

• What success means when it’s defined from the inside out

• Why comparing yourself to others quietly drains clarity and confidence

• How defining success reduces pressure and makes decisions feel lighter

• What it means to stop dimming yourself to fit expectations

• How success can become a compass for your next step in leadership and life

Hanna also shares a personal story about identity, confidence, and learning to show her full colours — and why that, today, is one of her clearest signs of success.

✨ Want to go deeper?
Hanna is currently creating a new confidence space (membership) for thoughtful leaders who want to continue these conversations over time — with reflection, structure, and practical tools that turn insight into sustainable action.

If you’re a leader who feels capable but stretched, ambitious but reflective — this episode is for you.

Be confident. Be you.

Are you truly in your business — or are you just busy reacting to everything around you?

In this episode of Confident Leadership. In Colour., Hanna Zaxmy explores the subtle but powerful difference between being busy and being in business — and why so many capable, committed leaders slowly lose focus without noticing.

Through a personal story from a hotel rooftop in India, and a real client example, this episode unpacks how ownership and focus shape the way we lead ourselves, make decisions, and create long-term impact.

You’ll be invited to reflect on:

• Why being busy doesn’t automatically mean you’re leading

• How short-term urgency can quietly replace long-term direction

• What it really means to take ownership of your focus

• Where your energy is best spent — and where it isn’t

If you’ve ever felt productive yet slightly off track, or ended a week wondering “Did this actually move what matters?”, this episode is for you.

This is a reflective, grounded conversation about leadership, responsibility, and choosing where to place your attention — with intention.
