    011| Hidden Thoughts, Visible Effects: How Imposter Syndrome Affects Your Brand

    Hi Change Maker, 
    We often overthink when it comes to doing new things, but it can actually be really simple - "...the unforeseen should not scare us, it should inspire us."
    If you are new in your role, rolling out a new program, entering the online space or a new level, this episode is for you! I’m teaching you how to recognize and understand Imposter Syndrome, shift your internal dialogue from viewing moments of doubt to seeing them as opportunities to create. We'll explore strategies to foster authentic leadership and create a brand that resonates with consistency and authenticity. Additionally, I'll share how to leverage community support to mitigate feelings of fraudulence and enhance your self-identity.
    My vision for you is to face new opportunities with clarity, confidence, and consistency rather than giving in to moments of doubt. I want to help you create the habits of empowerment to equip you with the tools you need to lead in your change initiatives. 
    Let's face Imposter Syndrome head on for you to stand in your calling of pioneering, helping others, and leaving a legacy. 
    All the best, 
    Felicia

    Hi Change Maker,
    Are you feeling like a fraud at your success, assuming you don't belong "in the room" or aren't ready to go to your next level?
    Have you ever heard of Imposter Syndrome? 
    You're not alone, but here's a twist: What if Imposter Syndrome isn’t holding you back, but instead, pushing you forward? Tune in as I share with you a four-step process that helps differentiate between the natural excitement of new challenges and the paralyzing fear of feeling like a fraud.
    We'll explore how these feelings can serve as catalysts for embracing your true potential, rather than barriers holding you back. Turn your doubts into your greatest triumphs, and discover why being in the room is exactly where you belong.
    All the best, 
    Felicia
