About This Episode

Have you ever been at the edge, heart pounding, palms sweaty, knowing you have to go first? In this episode of The Confident Podcast, host Lisa Tarkington takes you on a journey through some of her most defining adventures from bungee jumping in New Zealand, skydiving at 14,000 feet, hiking solo, and even navigating life’s quieter challenges like tough conversations and major life changes.

Through each story, Lisa reveals what these moments taught her about leadership, courage, and confidence, the kind that isn’t built by having the map, but by trusting the rope and taking the leap.

If you’ve ever stood on the edge of something new—personally or professionally—this episode will remind you that the leap may be scary, but it’s also where transformation begins.

Tune in to learn:

  • How fear and courage can coexist in leadership
  • Why confidence comes from action, not certainty
  • How to trust yourself (and your team) when the path ahead isn’t clear

Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take the next step even when you can’t see the whole trail.
