Ep 142 - How to Use Your Imposter Thoughts to Land a Senior Leadership Promotion

Episode 142

Does your imposter 'voice' stop you from being as successful (and happy) as you could be? What if, you welcomed those thoughts in - would it actually make you a more effective leader?

In this ep I am talking about...

- What’s keeping you stuck in your career and locked in a cycle of self-doubt, constantly feeling like you’re less talented than other people

- The ONE new strategy to help you sidestep your limiting thoughts so you can finally step up in your career

- 3 questions to help you shift your mindset away from feeling 'not good enough'... to help you fully recognise your own value 


Here's something valuable I said today:

"Imposter thoughts step in to shield you from making a mistake. You might subconsciously be saying to yourself, "If I don’t speak up, then I can’t be ridiculed", or "If I don’t go for the opportunity, then I can’t fail" and although you might really loathe talking to yourself this way, having that balanced perspective - where you don't believe you know everything - can actually make you a more insightful leader." (Rebecca Allen, host Her Ambitious Career)
