Stepping into a new leadership role can feel exciting — and overwhelming. For many high achievers, promotion brings not just new responsibilities but also the shadow of imposter syndrome: the nagging belief that you don’t deserve your success or that others will “find you out.”
In this episode, we explore the science behind imposter syndrome, why it often strikes after a promotion, and how leaders can reframe self-doubt into confidence and growth. You’ll learn practical strategies to silence negative self-talk, build authority without losing authenticity, and thrive in your new leadership position. Whether you’ve just been promoted or are preparing for the next step in your career, this conversation will help you lead with confidence, resilience, and clarity.
