Listen Later

Welcome to the Leadership Lab! In today’s empowering episode, host Jamie McKinney tackles a familiar foe for so many high-achievers - imposter syndrome. If you’ve ever felt that lurking doubt or questioned whether you truly belong in your position, this episode is your go-to pep talk. Jamie shares relatable stories from the Leadership Lab community and introduces a major reframe: what if it’s not imposter syndrome that’s holding you back, but simply an “imposter moment”?

With gentle guidance and practical advice, Jamie walks you through a four-step framework to manage self-doubt when it strikes, so you can recognize it, ground yourself, challenge unhelpful narratives, and move forward with action. You’ll hear about the “missing tile theory” and learn why it’s normal for your brain to fixate on what’s missing, rather than celebrating your strengths.

Get ready to walk away with plug-and-play solutions you can use today to silence that inner critic and reclaim your confidence. If you’re ready to experiment, grow, and own your brilliance, tune in and discover why you’re absolutely not alone, and exactly where you’re meant to be.
