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

August 13, 2024 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)
