    Breakthrough Coaching helps leaders get out of their own way.In the Jan/Feb 2022 issue of Harvard Business Review, there was an article called Family Ghosts in the Executive Suite by Deborah Ancona and Dennis N.T.

  • One Foot in Front of The Other: Moving Forward When The World Is Falling Apart

    For most of our listeners, it’s been a brutal week, compounded by a tumultuous couple of years.  We heard you when you asked for concrete advice about how to keep putting one foot in front of the other.


    This is required listening for leaders because you are both emotionally highly contagious to your teams (who want to feel valued right now), AND you are responsible for progress in our companies and communities.  It’s a big lift when the world feels like it’s unraveling.

    Join Dr. McCray and Kedren to learn about three categories of ordering the chaos, and then consider whether borrowing their habits could help you or potentially serve your team as we collectively put one foot in front of the other.

  • Imposter Syndrome

    Imposter syndrome is characterized by doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who don’t believe they’re deserving of recognition and promotions.


    Psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes developed the concept, originally termed “imposter phenomenon,” in a 1978 study which focused on high-achieving women. They found that “despite outstanding academic and professional accomplishments, women who experience the imposter phenomenon persist in believing that they are really not bright and have fooled anyone who thinks otherwise.”

    Viola Davis, Sheryl Sandberg, Michelle Obama and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor having all confessed to experiencing it.

    Join Sarah, Vanessa and Kedren to close out Women’s History Month for an exploration about what Imposter Phenomenon is, who experiences it, the role of organizational culture in perpetuating it, and how to begin to own your accomplishments and realistically integrate your successes into your identity.
