Tomorrow’s Podiatry: Building Confidence, Leadership and Belonging

In this episode of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, I welcome back Michael Stephenson from AA Podiatry in Glasgow to talk about the evolution of Tomorrow’s Podiatry and why soft skills may be the most undervalued asset in our profession.

We cover a lot in this conversation — public speaking, networking, mentorship, student leadership, culture, the importance of belonging and how Tomorrow's Podiatry Awards have grown since 2019. 

But the real theme? Confidence changes everything.
