“Every great leader begins by mastering the voice within.” – Janet Ioli

Welcome to this special and last episode of the season. In this episode, we’re tackling a challenge even the most successful leaders face: self-doubt. We’ll revisit important lessons from my Power Talks interview series from the very early episodes of this podcast.

You’ll hear excerpts with relatable wisdom from interviews with two powerhouse women executives: Donna Diederich, the Chief Human Resources Officer at LMI, and Nicole Burdette, President of Southern California Land & Housing at Brookfield Properties. They share their own, real experiences with self-doubt and impostor feelings and tell us how they navigated (and continue to navigate) through them.

And to offer practical application to your own experience with self-doubt to help you continue to build the confidence to lead with full presence, I share 3 practical strategies to help you move through those times when you experience a self-doubt attack.

In this episode:

  • Being reactive and the fear of not measuring up (from E2)
  • Being your own best advocate (from E1)
  • The power of saying yes (from E1)
  • You’re not alone in feeling this way (from E3)
  • Feeling okay with being uncomfortable (from E3)
  • 3 practical strategies to overcome a self-doubt attack (from E6)
  • And more!

Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode

“What I know for sure from working in this field is that what we think, say, and do and how we make people feel every moment as a leader, has an enormous impact on everyone around us.” – Janet Ioli

“Why are we always reacting and not creating the future? Because our sense of self is defined by adhering to other people’s measures of success.” – Janet Ioli

“Sometimes you have to say, ‘I’m 60 percent ready. I’ll figure the rest out.’ Because your male counterparts are doing that. So, I think women have to lean in a little more and take those chances.” – Donna Dietrich

“75% of female executives have experienced what is known as the impostor syndrome.” – Janet Ioli

“I’ve kind of flipped that impostor syndrome to say, if I’m not having it, am I really getting into uncomfortable situations?” – Nicole Burdette
