It may come as a surprise to learn that many CEOs suffer from imposter syndrome. In this episode, Andrea talks about this topic and the 4 main factors that contribute to the feelings of imposter syndrome and reveals a game-changing solution if you are feeling this way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

CEOs have a large amount of responsibility but often no one to confide in or seek support from.
Excessive standards for yourself, particularly around being professional can be detrimental to self-esteem and provoke feelings of inadequacy.
CEOs and leaders can overly rely on external validation as they are held accountable for so much and spend a lot of time receiving feedback.
Comparison and self-doubt can build up to create imposter syndrome.

BEST MOMENTS
"They might feel as if they don’t deserve their success”

“The future self is the result of your thoughts”

“You are better than the circumstances, you are better than what you see right now”
