Imposter Syndrome

Let’s cut the crap. You’ve been told (directly or indirectly) that if you want to lead at the next level, you need to “work on your executive presence.”

Howdy, partner. Did you hear tell about the mysterious stranger people been seein’ about town? They’re saying they move about the shadows, always keepin’ themselves hidden. I’m not about to go believin’ everything I hear, but I’d like to know who it is and why they ain’t showin’ themselves. Though I’ve got a pretty good idea…

My latest album, The Transfer of Trust is about to drop and I want you all to know before I take the show on the road (Eras style…I might even go blond). Every hit single I’ve included is meant to inspire empowering women leaders to empower new leaders.

Today, let’s talk about resilience in the “Boy’s Club”–yeah, I’m looking at you STEM (science, tech, engineering, and mathematics.)

Dear, Brilliant, Powerful, and Achieved One, You belong exactly where you are. In the role you’ve worked so hard for. Around the table with the other executives and C-level leaders. I know it may not feel like that a lot of the time. But whatever garbage you’re listening to inside your head, it’s just that. Garbage. Rotten bologna. Bullshit, honestly. It’s not real.

Let’s talk about labels. Humans love to name things. That thing I’m writing with? It’s called a pen. That fruit I’m eating? Peach. That emotion? Joy.
