Being in the spotlight isn’t easy. Standing in front of an audience, or facing conflict head-on, can be terrifying.
Many of us tend to focus on our weaknesses and downplay our strengths. We assume the worst and hold ourselves back when it’s time to step up. This is known as imposter syndrome.
Fortunately, there are many coping mechanisms we can apply to imposter syndrome. In a lot of cases, it comes down to being prepared. In this episode, you’ll hear from a special guest about a system of preparation that leaves no room for nerves.
