🎧 Episode 145: From Self-Doubt to Success | Part 1 with Dr. Lisa Orbe-Austin

In this powerful first part of our conversation with Dr. Lisa Orbe-Austin, renowned psychologist and co-founder of Dynamic Transitions Psychological Consulting, we explore the deep impact of impostor syndrome on women in leadership and how to overcome it. As an expert who has both studied and personally experienced impostor syndrome, Dr. Orbe-Austin shares vulnerable insights about her own journey and transformative strategies for others.

We dive deep into:

• The unexpected path to becoming an impostor syndrome expert
• How limiting beliefs can hold back even the most capable leaders
• The unique challenges women face in senior leadership positions
• The delicate balance of power and authenticity in leadership
• How impostor syndrome affects decision-making and risk-taking
• The impact of leadership style on team development

🔑 Key takeaways:

1. Success often looks different than we initially imagine - allow yourself to dream bigger
2. Leadership comes in many authentic forms - there isn't one "right" way to lead
3. Impostor syndrome can significantly impact how we develop our teams
4. Micromanaging often stems from our own insecurities
5. Taking risks becomes easier when we stop viewing our power as performative
6. Sharing our struggles can free others to acknowledge and overcome their own

💡 Quotes to remember: 
"I just thought like I was just treading water, trying to survive it all and that somebody was going to eventually find out I didn't deserve any of it and take it all away from me." - Dr. Lisa Orbe-Austin

"Expertise, competence, power comes in all different forms. And the way that you're going to feel that most is if you're authentically expressing that power and that leadership and not trying to be somebody else to do it." - Dr. Lisa Orbe-Austin
