Picture this: you've just nailed a great job, a promotion, or a personal achievement. You should be on top of the world, right? But instead, you're plagued with a nagging voice telling you that you're not good enough, that you don't belong here, and that your success is a fluke. Welcome to the world of the imposter complex.

Today, we sit down with leadership coach Tanya Geisler, who sheds light on our inner imposters. As we unravel the complexities of the imposter complex versus imposter syndrome, Tanya shares a poignant story of a friend's struggle with overwhelming responsibilities in a new job. This story illustrates how imposter syndrome can permeate our lives, often when we least expect them. Tanya also guides us through the intricate relationship between success and the imposter complex. We examine how this can lead to people-pleasing, identity shifts, and even obstruct our capacity to celebrate our wins. Together, we navigate the minefield of ego, inner chatter, and the struggle to recognize our accomplishments.

As we delve deeper into our chat with Tanya, we explore the uncomfortable territories of the imposter complex - comparison, procrastination, and perfectionism. Each one is a potential contributor to feelings of inadequacy. Tanya's journey from advertising to coaching and the common thread of the imposter complex she noticed amongst her clients, is a compelling narrative. We also discuss the power of understanding and embracing our unique identities, and understanding our 'why', a key to recognizing our true greatness.

 Finally, Tanya provides us with a glimpse into her program "Your Iconic Impact", aimed at combating the imposter complex and maximizing your true potential. Remember, you are already an icon; it's time to own it! Tune in for an enlightening talk that will help you navigate your imposter complex and maximize your iconic impact.

This isn't some utopian fantasy, but a reality we'll sketch out for you in this episode. We'll take the traditional work week and flip it on its head, suggesting why you might want to take Wednesdays or other mid-week days off, and how to make 'No Meeting Wednesdays' a norm at your workplace.

Are you caught in the paradox of wanting to be seen yet afraid to be different? This week, we hit the big 5-0 with our podcast episodes and we're marking it with an exploration of this conundrum. As we unpack the struggle of being conspicuous versus blending in, we spotlight Threads, a platform that champions uniqueness and authenticity. We also share insights from Sarah Ashman about the universal challenge of standing out while fitting in.

Then, we take a deep breath and plunge into overcoming the trepidation attached to standing out. We delve into the power of grit as a driving force that keeps us moving forward, even in the face of failure. We discuss the danger of suppressing your unique voice just to fit in and emphasize the importance of persisting, even when it appears your efforts are not yielding immediate results. Remember, Rome was not built in a day; it may take more than one or ten episodes to make a significant impact.

Wrapping up, we dissect the relationship between effort, grit, and resilience. We make a case for praising effort over success— a philosophy that holds the potential to revolutionize parenting and personal development. We also tackle the challenge of standing out, the authenticity that it demands, and the role of a coach in helping you achieve your goals. As we conclude our milestone 50th episode, we hope to leave you with a greater appreciation for your unique voice and the tenacity to keep pushing, no matter what.
