High Performance Made Simple

Do you find yourself wondering whether you really "belong" in the meeting? It's normal for self-doubt to creep in... And it's normal to feel like an imposter sometimes, especially when we feel that other people are way more qualified than us.

When we get "stuck in our heads" doubting and overthinking, we miss crucial moments to make an impact.

By the end of this episode, you will have seven key ideas to try, that will dislodge any grip that doubt or Imposter Syndrome have on you, so that you can feel more clear, calm, and confident in business.
