Do you ever feel like a fraud? Are you living with chronic self-doubt? Do you question whether you deserve to be in your role? If so, you're not alone! As a leadership coach and lifelong struggler with impostor syndrome, I wanted to create a space where professionals can tell their personal stories and unburden themselves of the silent shame that comes with this experience. I also wanted listeners to be able to hear themselves in others and realize that they are not alone. On this podcast, we'll share the stories of professionals from different backgrounds who've struggled with and learned to manage impostor syndrome. We'll also learn from experts on how to better manage ourselves and our environments to minimize the overall threat of impostor syndrome. Let's erase the stigma and stop feeling ashamed of these very normal experiences. And let's come together to share our challenges and strategize how to effectively rise above them.

Focusing on What’s Within Your Control

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about focusing on what’s within our control. If you’re like me, you’re worrying about the upcoming election, climate change, social issues, and much more. But, while it’s important to be aware of our macro-environments, it’s even more important to focus on what’s within our control. This week, I’m talking with Lissy Alden, the founder of MYNDY, a mental fitness company that helps people build better behavioral and thought patterns. Here Lissy shares her story of overcoming stress and burnout, then returning to school to study the brain. Lissy and I talk about the importance of focusing on your micro-environment and identifying small, repeatable steps you can take to stay in control of your life, better manage stress and more effectively achieve your goals. About My Guest Lissy Alden is the founder of MYNDY, a mental fitness company. Before MYNDY, Lissy built a proprietary, research-backed and quantitative framework to help change company culture and was a change agent fighting burnout for herself and others at large organizations. She specialized in working with companies (like Amex, NYTimes, etc) to measure and operationalize culture, improve service operations, and enhance workforce development. She is a graduate of Cornell University and received her MBA from MIT. ~ Connect with Lissy: myndy.co: https://form.typeform.com/to/mR4lSCYX?typeform-source=www.myndy.co [https://form.typeform.com/to/mR4lSCYX?typeform-source=www.myndy.co] ~ Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files: Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge: https://www.kimmeninger.com/challenge [https://www.kimmeninger.com/challenge] https://www.kimmeninger.com/ Learn more about the Leading Humans discussion group: https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroup [https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroup] https://www.kimmeninger.com/coaching Join the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6 [https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6] Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumans [https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumans] Schedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-session [https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-session] Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/] Website: https://kimmeninger.com [https://kimmeninger.com/]

Don’t Give Your Power Away

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about personal empowerment. If we let impostor syndrome control our personal narratives, we may be giving away our power in ways we don’t realize. My guest this week, Marjorie Ngwenya, is a board member, coach, consultant, speaker and author of the book, Empowered Evolution. Here we talk about Marjorie’s early career experiences, having had to leave university in London due to the crash of the Zimbabwe dollar.

Over time, Marjorie advanced her career, eventually becoming President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, UK as the first person of color and youngest person to hold office in the organization’s history. Marjorie and I also talk here about the importance of representation, how to stay in alignment with our values and how to make hard choices to stay empowered.

episode Using Experimentation to Embrace Your Strengths artwork
Using Experimentation to Embrace Your Strengths

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about breaking free from adopting others’ personas and embracing our own. Many of us have found ourselves impersonating those around us, either because we lacked the confidence to be our true selves, or we were told, implicitly or explicitly, that we had to behave in certain ways to fit into the culture around us. My guest this week, Danielle Droitsch, an executive coach and former non-profit leader, shares how she went from mimicking her mentor’s style to integrating her own strengths and embracing her own style. We also talk about using the approach of experimentation to test out new behaviors, including speaking up and sharing your ideas. About My Guest Danielle Droitsch is an Executive and Leadership Coach who empowers high-achieving and purpose-driven professionals to discover their superpowers, love their work, lead with confidence, and achieve the life of well-being they deserve. She firmly believes it is possible to love your career. Yet, a significant portion of the global workforce remains disengaged. Eight years ago, as a senior leader at a national nonprofit, she overcame burnout and disengagement transforming how she approached work. Since then, she has helped hundreds of professionals regain confidence and strength in their careers. Her mission is dedicated to helping people uncover their "secret sauce" to feeling successful and energized at work once again. ~ Connect with Danielle: Career Clarity Journey: 8 Questions For Fulfillment, Well-being and Impact https://mailchi.mp/7b47af821797/3jwkmtvr4y [https://mailchi.mp/7b47af821797/3jwkmtvr4y] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielledroitsch/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielledroitsch/] ~ Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files: Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge: https://www.kimmeninger.com/challenge [https://www.kimmeninger.com/challenge] https://www.kimmeninger.com/ Learn more about the Leading Humans discussion group: https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroup [https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroup] https://www.kimmeninger.com/coaching Join the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6 [https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6] Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumans [https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumans] Schedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-session [https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-session] Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/] Website: https://kimmeninger.com [https://kimmeninger.com/]

Build a Better Now

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about how to create a meaningful “now” in the midst of everything going on in the world around us. With the upcoming election here in the US, volatility across the world and constant negativity on social media and the news, how do we get back on track and shift our attention to building a better now? This week, I talk with Greg Bennick, keynote speaker and author of the book, Reclaim the Moment: Seven Strategies to Build a Better Now. Here we talk about steps we can all take to embrace optimism, positivity and kindness in an increasingly negative world.
