While you may notice the natural flow of a live conversation, I hope you find the stories, insights, and discussions meaningful and valuable.Imposter syndrome isn’t just a personal struggle. It’s a corporate epidemic. Nearly 70% of adults, including 71% of CEOs and 75% of women executives, admit to experiencing it.
In my latest podcast episode, I share both the research and my own story of layoffs and workplace shifts to unpack:
Why authenticity is the fuel that drives engagement, trust, and retention
How imposter thoughts can unexpectedly sharpen collaboration and empathy
The practical steps leaders and professionals can take to transform self-doubt into resilience
This isn’t about erasing imposter syndrome. It’s about reframing it and letting it sharpen your authenticity instead of silence it.
