The Thrivership Podcast

This week I am talking about how to overcome impostor syndrome - that's the feeling that you don't deserve your achievements or that other people might think or find out you're a fraud! Or at least not as good/successful/accomplished as they think you are...Having experienced impostor syndrome myself for years, and as a coach who has worked with women and men on how to overcome it, I talk from first hand knowledge about how to identify impostor syndrome and what to do about it. You can overcome this, but it only starts once you choose to do things a little bit differently. It is achievable, and this episode teaches you how.

This week I am talking about building resilience. In the UK we are entering another national lockdown, and lots of us are feeling the strain on our physical and mental wellbeing. How do we build our resilience so that we can continue to thrive and enjoy our lives even in times of stress?Sometimes at work we are told to be 'more resilient' - in a work context that can mean do more, be more productive, bulldoze on through the stress and make less fuss, make less noise, be more consistent. That is not resilience, and focusing on doing more, being more productive in this scenario will have the opposite effect.Learn tips to help you be more resilient both at work and in your personal life by listening to this episode. To read the show notes, click below:https://www.thrivership.coach/2020/11/03/episode-12-how-to-build-resilience/Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thrivershipcoach)Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thrivershipcoach)
