In this episode of the Industry Iowa Podcast, I sit down with keynote speaker and communication coach Erik Dominguez, who will be speaking at this year’s Iowa Lean Consortium Conference. We explore how real leadership confidence is formed—not by eliminating fear, but by learning to navigate it.
Topics include:
• Why Imposter Syndrome is more common than you think
• How discomfort signals growth, not failure
• The power of vulnerability (and when to share it)
• How to expand your comfort zone intentionally
• The secret connection between confidence and storytelling
Whether you're a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, this conversation offers practical insights and a mindset shift that could reshape how you lead.
