If you’re new here, I’m Dr. Shadé Zahrai – a behavioral researcher, self-leadership Expert, and author of Big Trust.

A little about me…

10 years ago:
– I was a young employee in corporate trying to “earn” my seat at the table.
– Constantly overthinking.
– Constantly doubting myself.
– Constantly trying to fit into rooms I eventually learned to own.

Today:
– I teach millions of professionals around the world how to master confidence, self-trust, and high performance.
– I speak on global stages, partner with Fortune 500 companies, and run a research-driven leadership firm with clients across the US, Europe, and APAC.
– My debut book, Big Trust, is coming January 2026.

And here’s the most important part:
Success didn’t remove my self-doubt.
It taught me how to work with it.

Because you don't grow confidence by pretending you’re fearless. You earn it by showing up even when you’re afraid.

My message to you:
If you have a bigger vision for your life, don’t shrink it to make others comfortable.
Don’t water down your brilliance.
Don’t ask smaller minds for permission to pursue a bigger dream.
You were made for more...
and the moment you start backing yourself with Big Trust Energy, everything changes. 🧡
