An all too common challenge for leaders of all career level and walks of life is those "I don't deserve this" feeling, a.k.a. the imposter experience, commonly called 'imposter syndrome'. If that's something you've experienced then I hope you'll give today's episode a listen. Because I'll be speaking with the Imposter Syndrome Slayer himself, John Little, about the pervasive issue of imposter syndrome, sharing insights from his own experiences and coaching philosophy. We examine the importance of self-awareness, building relationships, and giving oneself grace in overcoming the self-doubt and low confidence that are so often linked to imposter experience. John offers practical strategies to foster confidence and authenticity in yourself and others. Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

This week, I'm joined by Mindset, Business, & Stress Coach, Raj Soren, also the author of Black Belt Mindset.

"Introverts aren't good leaders" "I'd like to see you be more outgoing" "We're looking for extroversion in our leaders here" Sound familiar? Yeah, me too. It's hogwash though, rubbish, nonsense. I'm joined this week by Stacey Chazin, leadership coach for introverts, to discuss this crucial topic and expand our understanding of leadership, with practical 'how to' advice like how to recognise and leveraging the strengths of introverted individuals in the workplace. From personal experiences, to the impact of feedback, the role of personality assessments, and strategies for introverts to thrive in leadership and professional settings. And if you're not an introvert, don't worry, Stacey also provides some great insights on how to support your introverted team members more effectively.
