Did you know that at one point in our lives, 70% of people experience Imposter Syndrome or now called Imposter Complex/Phenomenon. 

And P.S., 75% of executive women have experienced it. 

I’ve had many highly successful and motivated Type A female clients come to me wanting to be “fixed.” I always give them the same answer. This is not an on and off switch. There is no fixing. This is a process of unlearning and relearning, of noticing and reframing, and reconnecting to your body. It’s using your tools when the inner critic strikes, because it will. 

Inner critic is simply a sign that you are leveling up and facing fear. I know easier said than done, but you can manage it. As Maya Angelou says, “When we know better, we do better.”

During my conversation with guest, Jessica Wright, we talk about knowledge that we can arm ourselves with when managing on our inner critics. 

During the show, Jessica and I chatted about:

1. What Positive Intelligence and the Saboteurs are.
2. The benefits of knowing our Saboteurs and how we find out ours. 
3. If the Saboteurs remain consistent or if they can change over time.
4. We chatted about what Jessica and my top Saboteurs are and how they show up. 
5. How does all of this relate to the inner critic and why knowledge is power. 

Here is more about Jessica:

Jessica Wright, an ACC-credentialed Life & Career Development Coach, helps new and emerging leaders build confidence, lead with purpose, and create a lasting legacy...without sacrificing their personal lives. 

Because leadership isn't actually about proving yourself in the hard times. It's about support. It's about clarity. It's about helping people feel seen, heard, and connected to the mission.

With a Master’s degree in Transformational Leadership, Jessica helps leaders navigate the pressures of their roles, overcome burnout, and empowers them to redefine success on their own terms. 

Jessica is also the host of Illustrating Leadership Podcast and the creator of the Illustrating Leadership Summit.

When she's not coaching or podcasting, you can find Jessica chasing down her naughty dachshund, seeking out her next cup of coffee, or starting a crafting project that she may or may not eventually finish.
