#27 - Tanya Geisler on Deconstructing Imposter Syndrome

Joining me this week is Tanya Geisler. Tanya is a Canadian coach, writer, TED speaker, and expert in the Imposter Complex (or Syndrome). She's written multiple books on the subject and works with clients that include best-selling authors, public speakers, and rock star motivators. Her expertise lies in helping leaders understand what the Imposter Complex or Imposter Syndrome is, and understand some of the lies we tell ourselves and the behavior traits that we demonstrate which alert us to the fact that we're suffering from Imposter Syndrome. The concept spans all sorts of literature, studies, and even spiritual teachings. If you value the characteristics of mastery, integrity, and excellence, you're actually more susceptible to experiencing Imposter Syndrome.In this conversation, we break down what it is, how to go about overcoming it, and how different cultures view Imposter Syndrome and those that are achieving excellence in a field. I personally learned a lot from talking to Tanya and you can tell she thinks deeply about this subject.
