Did you know that your biggest weakness can be your guiding light to your most powerful gifts? Today I am joined by the incredible Alani Bankhead to chat all about Imposter syndrome.
Alani Bankhead is an ICF-certified professional coach, TEDx speaker, best selling author, and owner of Mighty Sparrow Coaching LLC. Through workshops, speaking events, and private coaching, her company is focused on helping individuals and teams crush their imposter syndrome and achieve fulfilling lives and mission outcomes previously thought unattainable. Alani gained this passion during her 20-year career where she hunted spies, terrorists, and human traffickers around the globe as a supervisory special agent. She is now committed to ensuring no one suffers the way she did by guiding heart-centered, high-achieving professionals to understanding that their weakness is actually the key to unlocking their greatest power.
'Imposter Syndrome' is a psychological pattern (that affects 70% of the population) of doubting one's abilities or accomplishments and harboring persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome begins with acknowledging and recognizing the negative feelings associated with the 'imposter syndrome', followed by bringing curiosity about these feelings, and reviewing past achievements as evidence of competence.
Alani provides some amazing information today about imposter syndrome and why the things you think are your weaknesses, are actually guiding lights to your greatest strengths. Today we will dive into how to transform the feelings of self-doubt and discovering your gifts.
