Episode notes

Women leaders often believe that they have imposter syndrome but what if that label is stopping you from asking the question that matters most? Instead of assuming something is wrong with you, what if you asked, What's happened that's made you question yourself? This single question that I use in my leadership coaching often helps women change how they see themselves - it can completely transform your confidence, your leadership and your future. So much self doubt grows in uncertainty rather than truth. In this episode I'm sharing a real coaching story where you'll discover how one senior leader rebuilt her confidence by looking at the evidence instead of the story she'd created. If you've ever felt your voice at work disappear after being promised a pay rise that never happened or received feedback that made you doubt your judgement, this conversation offers a practical way forward. Women leaders don't need to fix themselves, they need to understand the context behind their self-doubt. You'll hear why imposter syndrome may not be the real problem, how rebuilding self-worth strengthens leadership , and why asking, What happened that made me start doubting myself?
