Episode 9: Why do I feel like an Imposter?

So you’ve got that promotion. Congratulations!
How long is it before that knot in your stomach starts to tighten, the lump in your throat starts to grow and you start to feel like you’re out of your depth?
Imposter syndrome isn’t just a workplace phenomenon. There are all kinds of ways we can hold ourselves back from completing things.
Maybe you’re a self proclaimed perfectionist? Or gold-standard procrastinator?
These traits are all too common companions in the imposter cycle, which we explore with Mr Hugh Kearns, lecturer and researcher in the area of high performance at Flinders University.
Episode 8: Who is Suzanne Mercier?

It strikes more people than you know, and it’s been behind the demise of many a promising career.
Imposter Syndrome was first recognised identified in 1978 by Dr. Pauline R. Clance and Dr. Suzanne A. Imesin in their article “The Impostor Phenomenon in High Achieving Women: Dynamics and Therapeutic Intervention”
It’s that irrational fear of failure, that little voice inside your head that tells you you’re a fraud and you’re going to get found out any minute now.
There are some great resources available to help combat this feeling now, and we were privileged to speak to one Australian Expert in the fiend, Suzanne Mercier, founder of Purpose to Profit about her own personal experience with Imposter Syndrome, and how she is now helping others to combat it.

Episode 5: How to be OK with who you are

Scientia Professor Joe Forgas AM chats to us about tribe identity in the context of family and the wider community, raising the question of whether it’s better to hear the hurtful things people say, because suppressing their freedom to say it doesn’t remove their feeling about it anyway.

Andy and Louise talk about their own relationship to and with different ‘tribes’ in relation to family and work and how they have used those affiliations to limit themselves in the past.
