The 4 Ps Of Imposter Syndrome - And How They Predict Your Stress Response [Episode 052]
2/28/2024
One of the most common questions I get asked about Imposter Syndrome is how you can spot the warning signs. They're masters of disguise.
So, back in 2018, I used our long-term research studies into Imposter Syndrome to create the 4 Ps of Imposter Syndrome model. By looking for differences in these 4 Ps, it helps you to spot the early warning signs of Imposter Syndrome, both in yourself and in others.
Now taught at universities and cited in PhDs, the 4 Ps of Imposter Syndrome is an incredibly useful pre-diagnostic for Imposter Syndrome, used by individuals, coaches and managers worldwide, every single day.
But there's more! Here's what's waiting for you today:

10 Questions To Ask An Imposter Syndrome Coach, Before You Work With Them [Episode 50]
12/27/2023
If you've hit a wall with DIY Google methods of clearing your Imposter Syndrome and you're ready to hire a professional to help, then this episode is especially for you.
No, I'm not selling my coaching services (I rarely coach imposter syndrome these days) but I have seen an explosion of coaches claiming to clear imposter syndrome without the proof to back up their claims.

To make sure you find the right coach, I’ve created this episode to guide you through the questions you need to ask before hiring an imposter syndrome coach. So that you can be sure you’re getting the help you need from someone who has those advanced skills.

The 3 Pillars Of Imposter Syndrome & Burnout (And Why It's Not Your Fault You Can't Shake It) [Episode 48]
12/13/2023
Who is really to blame for you experiencing imposter syndrome? This is an important question that I recently answered at a Q&A session.
This episode is for everyone who feels like they have tried everything to fix imposter syndrome for themselves or their team and it hasn’t worked. It's likely to be because they're only addressing one of the three pillars - I spill the beans on those during the episode.
71% of your team is experiencing toxic resilience right now and feeling the need to cover up and carry on as though nothing is wrong. This leads to them operating on a fight, flight or freeze response which makes burnout and imposter syndrome so much worse.
Listen now to discover how the three key pillars of Imposter Syndrome are getting in the way of preventing imposter syndrome, and what you can do about it, even in the next few weeks. Plus, I’ll share how you can become a beacon of hope for others.

Can A Cup Of Tea Really Fix Imposter Syndrome? [Episode 47]
12/6/2023
Do you want to offer more than a 'tea and sympathy' approach to your colleagues or clients with imposter syndrome?
25% of your team are actively thinking about quitting their job every single week as a result of imposter syndrome. Yet, untrained line managers, HR, and mental health first aiders are at the frontline of trying to fix their colleagues' pain.
In this episode, I take you through why tea and sympathy is an essential first step and what needs to come next to start clearing imposter syndrome, which is often caused by complex trauma, rather than a mindset-level issue.
Listen now to find everything you need to know about how you can help people with imposter syndrome beyond sharing the war wounds of your own experience.
