Elegant Warrior Podcast with Heather Hansen Gotham Podcast Studio

In this solo episode, I dive into the differences between comparison and competition, and let you know which one is going to make you more healthy and happy.  I also let you know about my Cure for Imposter Syndrome webinar. If you want access to that, just email me: heather@elegantwarrior.com

What are the deeply held core values that guide you when you are making the hardest decisions? Do you spend your time focusing on those values or floating from idea to idea with no real purpose or end goal in mind?

Do you ever feel like a fake? That you don’t have the experience or credibility you need to do the work you’re doing and you’re afraid someone is going to find out the truth? We often call that impostor syndrome and I am here today to tell you that it is doing nothing to serve you. You can overcome impostor syndrome by doing three things — believing in yourself, building credibility in yourself, and empowering yourself with the evidence — to help yourself move forward with confidence.

Negotiating is an art, and my guest today is going to teach us how to ask the right questions to get what we want most. Alexandra Carter is the author of Ask For More: 10 Questions to Negotiate Anything and I absolutely love the approach she takes to negotiating with yourself and with others. She shares the language you need to use when asking questions to get what you want and highlights the importance of asking for more so that you can pave the way for those who come after you.

I want to talk to you today about O.P.B. — other people’s business. Too often we allow other people’s business to distract us from what matters most in our own lives. We waste time focusing on what someone else is wearing, doing, earning, or experiencing. I want you to understand the dangers of focusing on O.P.B., why you need to overcome it, and what you stand to gain if you can take that same energy and put it into improving your own life.

My guest today is author Carson Tate and she’s here to teach you how to master the choices you make in your career. She shares tools to help you own it, love it, and make it work. You will learn that it’s okay to want to be recognized and appreciated, that knowing your strengths will give you the credibility to grow your confidence, and that you always have the power to choose your reaction to the course that you are on.
