Interrupting Self-Doubt. Igniting Audacity. Inspiring Resilience.
I interrupt the idea of Imposter Syndrome, equipping high performers with the emotional intelligence tools to stop leading in costume. After 25 years in the Army being told what a leader is supposed to look like, I teach the skills to quiet self-doubt, the audacity to lead as yourself, and the resilience to keep doing it, no matter what comes next.
Are you leading in costume? Take the two minute quiz and find out which pattern is running the show, and the first tool to interrupt it.
