When you step into leadership, your job changes, but so does your identity.

In this episode of Your Preshift, we talk about the internal shift new leaders face when the work that used to define them is no longer theirs. From imposter syndrome to over-functioning, this transition can shake your confidence, and your sense of self.

We’ll explore:

• Why “I am” statements shape our leadership story
• How imposter syndrome shows up for new leaders (and what it’s really saying)
• What Leadership and Self-Deception teaches us about ignoring the inner nudge
• Three practices that help leaders stay grounded in their real identity.

So, whether you’re stepping into leadership for the first time or supporting someone who is, this episode will help you lead with more clarity, humility, and steadiness—without losing yourself in the process.
