Today’s show is about a topic we’re all familiar with in one way or another. Imposter syndrome is something I’ve experienced, and I’ve seen it manifested in many other coaches. If we’re honest, most of us have had personal experience with this phenomenon, and it seems to be a battle that women leaders often have to fight. Join us to dive into this topic and learn more!

Dr. Jennifer Hunt had trained, mentored, and supervised hundreds of medical students, residents and practicing physicians before she became aware of the unexpected prevalence of imposter syndrome. It’s especially widespread among women leaders in healthcare. In addition to serving as the Chair of Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Jennifer is a sought-after speaker and executive coach for current and aspiring leaders in the field of medicine. She has developed a popular leadership development program for women to address imposter syndrome in their professional lives. The program is called “Unlocking the Authentic Self,” and it feeds into Jennifer’s passion-mission to increase the number of women in leadership roles across all industries. Since imposter syndrome is a big contributor in holding women back from their potential, Jennifer is bringing her experience forward to work with women around this area. Whether you’re a man or a woman, you’ll benefit from hearing what Jennifer shares with us today about the five dysfunctions of imposter syndrome and her practical tips for overcoming this trap.

Show Highlights:

●    Jennifer helps people develop their skills and fully find what is resourceful about themselves

●    Jennifer’s preferred title for imposter syndrome: “Self-underappreciation syndrome”

●    How Jennifer began her work with physicians with imposter syndrome

●    The intentions behind Jennifer’s program

●    Why women and minorities are held back by imposter syndrome

●    The five dysfunctions of imposter syndrome:

○    Internalizing emotions as truth

■    Label your emotions and their roots, and use centering, grounding, and power-posing techniques

○    Seeing the super-sized, gigantic inner critic

■    Label the critic, hear it, notice it, and make it speak to your face

○    Showing up to life as an avatar

■    Show up as the real you, and act out of choice, and not habit

○    Using unresourceful approaches to risk-taking and challenges

■    Reframe failure as a step in a process and an opportunity to learn and gather data

○    Having a destructive pattern for processing feedback

■    Cultivate tools and strategies for processing both criticism AND praise

●    Jennifer’s 8-week program and the assignments and fieldwork to practice and perfect the tools and techniques

If you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten.

We all strive for success, no matter how we are connected to this field of coaching. How do we achieve success? Is there a formula to follow? Today’s show answers these questions with actionable steps you can take TODAY to build and increase your level of success.

He’s also graduated from the police academy, climbed a 14,000-foot mountain, and plays the drums.

Show Highlights:

• How Gary determined the three elements of success
• The 1st step to success: Be seen
• Why we have to grasp the concept that our clientele needs what we have to offer
• What makes us shine in a different way
• How Gary has defied the odds to be seen
• Why our clients differ in the way they make application of the content we give them
• With each opportunity, ask, “Does this take me toward or away from my ultimate vision?”
• Gary’s “Power of YES” philosophy
• The 2nd step to success: Be safe
• Why you have to go into any connection with no agenda
• The key to being safe is active listening
• Why asking questions is the key to making connections and being authentic
• The 3rd step to success: Be relevant
• Ask, “Do people need and desire what I have to offer?”
• How to connect to people’s pain points
• A dollar decision vs. a value decision
• Gary’s tips for focusing on results
• How clients “borrow” our beliefs
• Why we need to listen to others more than we talk about ourselves
• The uncertainty of the gestation period for our clients
