In this week's episode we are talking about something that we hear about a lot from our coachees but also from our coaches. We wonder if it’s something that you might have experienced too. Let’s explore imposter syndrome and how we coach through this.

We discuss:

The universal experience that is felt through imposter syndrome
How we can, as coaches, to be triggered into feeling like an imposter
What can make us feel like an imposter?
Is the word syndrome an accurate representation of what is happening?
The role emotions play in our coaching conversations
How can we support our clients to find learning rather than lean into an imposter identity
The role of radical self acceptance

As coaches there are many ways that we can coach our clients through these feelings of being an imposter. We can become skillful at helping them to explore these different avenues and our first step is to have a true understanding of what we are really talking about when it comes to imposter syndrome.
