Overcoming Imposter Syndrome as a Leader

The truth is, imposter syndrome is incredibly common. It affects even the most successful and high-performing leaders. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to define you, and it certainly shouldn’t hold you back.

In this article, we’ll explore what imposter syndrome is, how it shows up in leadership, and most importantly, how to overcome it and step into your authentic leadership potential with confidence.

“Rob’s sessions are extremely powerful in building the right mindset, creating trust and developing leaders to be more effective and inspiring communicators.”

“Rob is a well-grounded and well-rounded coach. He taught me the power of story-telling. It has meant a great deal in my development as a leader. He is able to select the right combination of exercises for the right time.”

“Rob makes leaders shine. I engaged Rob to help coach and train two performing CEO’s in facilitation and speech delivery. Rob used a conversational and casual coaching style which helped disarm the mechanical/processed sequencing often associated in these trainings.”

“Rob provided a safe space and optimal learning opportunity for us to increase our individual communication capabilities, as well as enhance the relational fabric of our team. The word spread fast in our office and he has been asked to deliver another session for a colleague and her team.”

“Rob is great to work with…he really cares about listening to your requirements, bringing that brief to life and delivering on it. He’s always curious, engaged, motivated, highly flexible and reliable and delivers what he says he will!”

“When I watch Rob working with senior leaders there are a couple of words that come to mind: passion, authenticity, helping others to transform, compelling and engaging. Last but not least a pleasure to work with!”
