In this riveting episode, we're joined by Chris, a certified leadership coach, two-time entrepreneur, and the author of "Overcoming the Imposter." We dive deep into the labyrinth of self-doubt known as imposter syndrome—a struggle all too familiar yet seldom discussed. But what if we told you that this psychological hurdle might actually be the secret sauce to your authenticity?
Chris brings his years of expertise to shed light on how imposter syndrome is not just a cliche term but an intricate psychological barrier that hits 70-80% of us at some point in our lives. Especially high-achievers. From understanding the deceptive tricks your mind plays to keep you in 'productive procrastination,' to the more nuanced ways it manifests, we go beyond the surface to explore how it feels to be human in this arena.
In a candid exchange, Chris and I share personal anecdotes, offering parallels between the structured corporate world and the free-wheeling life of entrepreneurship, examining how these contrasting ecosystems impact our relationship with imposter syndrome. This is not just an episode but an invitation to dig deeper into the layers of your self-doubt, daring you to look your inner critic in the eye and say, "Not today."
If you've ever second-guessed your abilities or chalked up your accomplishments to mere 'luck,' this episode is a must-listen. By the end of it, you'll have a fresh perspective on how to tackle the internal barriers that have been holding you back.
Tune in and be ready to flip the script on imposter syndrome.
