• 0:18
  So
• 0:18
  in
• 0:18
  today's
• 0:18
  podcast,
• 0:19
  we're
• 0:19
  going
• 0:19
  to
• 0:19
  be
• 0:19
  talking
• 0:20
  about
• 0:20
  imposter
• 0:21
  syndrome.
• 0:22
  And
• 0:23
  imposter
• 0:24
  syndrome
• 0:24
  literally
• 0:25
  happens
• 0:25
  at
• 0:26
  every
• 0:26
  level
• 0:26
  and
• 0:27
  every
• 0:27
  stage
• 0:27
  of
• 0:28
  the
• 0:28
  business
• 0:28
  journey.
• 0:29
  I
• 0:30
  think
• 0:30
  there
• 0:30
  was
• 0:30
  a
• 0:30
  stat
• 0:31
  that
• 0:31
  I
• 0:31
  saw
• 0:31
  a
• 0:32
  couple
• 0:32
  of
• 0:32
  years
• 0:32
  ago
• 0:32
  that
• 0:32
  once
• 0:33
  said
• 0:33
  that
• 0:34
  70%
• 0:34
  of
• 0:35
  people
• 0:35
  had
• 0:36
  experienced
• 0:36
  imposter
• 0:37
  syndrome
• 0:38
  at
• 0:38
  some
• 0:38
  point
• 0:39
  of
• 0:39
  their
• 0:39
  lives.
• 0:40
  And
• 0:40
  I
• 0:41
  think
• 0:41
  the
• 0:41
  interesting
• 0:42
  thing
• 0:42
  here
• 0:42
  is,
• 0:42
  is
• 0:43
  that
• 0:43
  I
• 0:43
  think
• 0:44
  probably
• 0:44
  more
• 0:44
  than
• 0:44
  that,
• 0:45
  I
• 0:45
  think
• 0:45
  pretty
• 0:45
  much
• 0:45
  every
• 0:46
  single
• 0:46
  person
• 0:47
  has
• 0:48
  experienced
• 0:48
  imposter
• 0:49
  syndrome
• 0:49
  at
• 0:50
  some
• 0:50
  point
• 0:51
  in
• 0:51
  their
• 0:51
  lives.
• 0:52
  It
• 0:52
  could
• 0:52
  be
• 0:52
  in
• 0:53
  their
• 0:53
  business
• 0:53
  journey,
• 0:53
  it
• 0:54
  could
• 0:54
  be
• 0:54
  in
• 0:54
  their
• 0:54
  personal
• 0:54
  lives,
• 0:55
  but
• 0:56
  literally
• 0:56
  it's
• 0:57
  something
• 0:57
  that
• 0:58
  raises
• 0:59
  its
• 0:59
  head
• 0:59
  quite
• 1:00
  often.
• 1:00
  And
• 1:01
  people
• 1:02
  often
• 1:02
  talk
• 1:02
  about
• 1:03
  getting
• 1:03
  over
• 1:04
  imposter
• 1:04
  syndrome.
• 1:05
  I
• 1:05
  don't
• 1:05
  think
• 1:05
  you
• 1:06
  ever
• 1:06
  get
• 1:06
  over
• 1:07
  it.
• 1:07
  I
• 1:07
  think
• 1:07
  you
• 1:08
  learn
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  manage
• 1:10
  what
• 1:10
  it
• 1:10
  means
• 1:10
  to
• 1:11
  you
• 1:11
  and
• 1:11
  how
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  utilize
• 1:12
  it.
• 1:13
  It's
• 1:13
  almost
• 1:14
  like
• 1:14
  a
• 1:14
  superpower
• 1:15
  in
• 1:15
  your
• 1:16
  journey
• 1:16
  because
• 1:18
  it
• 1:18
  doesn't
• 1:19
  go
• 1:19
  away
• 1:20
  when
• 1:20
  you
• 1:20
  succeed.
• 1:21
  And
• 1:21
  I
• 1:21
  think
• 1:21
  this
• 1:21
  is
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  myth
• 1:22
  that
• 1:23
  we
• 1:23
  are
• 1:23
  told
• 1:23
  that
• 1:25
  when
• 1:25
  you
• 1:25
  feel
• 1:25
  it,
• 1:26
  it'll
• 1:26
  be
• 1:26
  something
• 1:27
  that
• 1:27
  goes
• 1:27
  when
• 1:27
  you
• 1:28
  are
• 1:28
  super
• 1:28
  successful.
• 1:30
  But
• 1:30
  sadly
• 1:31
  it
• 1:31
  doesn't.
• 1:31
  And
• 1:31
  I
• 1:32
  think
• 1:32
  if
• 1:32
  we
• 1:32
  can
• 1:32
  embrace
• 1:33
  this
• 1:33
  and
• 1:33
  reframe
• 1:34
  it,
• 1:34
  we
• 1:35
  start
• 1:35
  to
• 1:35
  think
• 1:35
  about
• 1:36
  what
• 1:36
  imposter
• 1:37
  syndrome
• 1:37
  is
• 1:38
  and
• 1:39
  how
• 1:39
  we
• 1:39
  can
• 1:39
  use
• 1:40
  it
• 1:40
  to
• 1:41
  our
• 1:41
  advantage,
• 1:42
  because
• 1:43
  you
• 1:43
  can
• 1:43
  move
• 1:44
  through
• 1:44
  imposter
• 1:45
  syndrome.
• 1:45
  And
• 1:45
  I
• 1:45
  think
• 1:46
  one
• 1:46
  of
• 1:46
  the,
• 1:46
  the
• 1:47
  myths
• 1:47
  that
• 1:48
  we,
• 1:48
  we
• 1:48
  all
• 1:49
  see
• 1:49
  is
• 1:49
  that
• 1:50
  there
• 1:50
  will
• 1:50
  be
• 1:50
  this
• 1:51
  kind
• 1:51
  of
• 1:51
  arriving
• 1:53
  and
• 1:53
  it
• 1:54
  evolves
• 1:54
  and
• 1:55
  it
• 1:55
  will
• 1:55
  go
• 1:55
  and
• 1:56
  you
• 1:56
  won't
• 1:56
  feel
• 1:56
  it
• 1:57
  again
• 1:57
  because
• 1:57
  you've
• 1:57
  hit
• 1:58
  this
• 1:58
  magical
• 1:58
  milestone.
• 2:00
  Sadly,
• 2:01
  that's
• 2:01
  not
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  point.
• 2:02
  And
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  think
• 2:03
  when
• 2:03
  we,
• 2:04
  we
• 2:04
  look
• 2:04
  at
• 2:05
  imposter
• 2:05
  syndrome
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  why,
• 2:07
  why
• 2:07
  it
• 2:07
  comes
• 2:08
  is
• 2:08
  that
• 2:09
  if
• 2:10
  we
• 2:10
  can
• 2:10
  spot
• 2:10
  the
• 2:11
  sabotage,
• 2:12
  we
• 2:12
  can
• 2:13
  start
• 2:13
  to
• 2:13
  navigate
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  mitigate
• 2:15
  some
• 2:16
  of
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  things
• 2:16
  that
• 2:16
  it
• 2:16
  brings
• 2:17
  up
• 2:17
  for
• 2:17
  us.
• 2:17
  Because
• 2:19
  what
• 2:19
  imposter
• 2:19
  syndrome
• 2:20
  can
• 2:20
  do
• 2:20
  is
• 2:20
  it
• 2:21
  can
• 2:21
  cut
• 2:21
  a
• 2:22
  stud,
• 2:22
  it
• 2:22
  can
• 2:22
  make
• 2:22
  us
• 2:23
  stall
• 2:23
  in
• 2:24
  whatever
• 2:24
  action
• 2:25
  that
• 2:25
  we
• 2:25
  want
• 2:25
  to
• 2:25
  take.
• 2:26
  And
• 2:27
  sometimes
• 2:28
  it's
• 2:28
  really
• 2:28
  subtle
• 2:28
  in
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  way
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  it
• 2:29
  shows
• 2:30
  up,
• 2:30
  especially
• 2:31
  in
• 2:32
  business
• 2:32
  owners
• 2:32
  journeys,
• 2:33
  because
• 2:33
  it
• 2:34
  can
• 2:34
  be
• 2:34
  something
• 2:35
  that
• 2:36
  gets
• 2:36
  bigger
• 2:37
  and
• 2:37
  bigger
• 2:37
  and
• 2:37
  bigger
• 2:38
  until
• 2:38
  a
• 2:39
  point
• 2:39
  where
• 2:39
  we
• 2:40
  actually
• 2:41
  will
• 2:41
  maybe
• 2:42
  make
• 2:42
  excuses
• 2:43
  around
• 2:43
  something
• 2:44
  not
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  wait,
• 2:45
  not
• 2:45
  not
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  do
• 2:45
  it,
• 2:45
  or
• 2:46
  how
• 2:46
  not
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  move
• 2:47
  forward,
• 2:47
  or
• 2:48
  we'll
• 2:48
  maybe
• 2:49
  think
• 2:49
  about
• 2:50
  ways
• 2:50
  to
• 2:51
  avoid
• 2:52
  doing
• 2:52
  something
• 2:52
  in
• 2:52
  a
• 2:53
  certain
• 2:53
  way.
• 2:54
  But
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  key
• 2:54
  here
• 2:55
  is
• 2:55
  is
• 2:55
  that
• 2:56
  confidence
• 2:58
  is
• 2:58
  a
• 2:58
  key
• 2:59
  part
• 2:59
  and
• 3:00
  kind
• 3:00
  of
• 3:00
  like
• 3:00
  almost
• 3:01
  practicing
• 3:01
  this,
• 3:02
  because
• 3:03
  when
• 3:03
  you
• 3:03
  use
• 3:04
  micro
• 3:04
  proofs
• 3:05
  to
• 3:06
  strengthen
• 3:06
  your
• 3:07
  daily
• 3:07
  belief,
• 3:08
  we
• 3:08
  start
• 3:08
  to
• 3:09
  see
• 3:11
  how
• 3:11
  imposter
• 3:12
  syndrome
• 3:12
  can
• 3:12
  be
• 3:12
  almost
• 3:13
  squashed.
• 3:14
  So
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  want
• 3:15
  to
• 3:15
  share
• 3:15
  a
• 3:16
  story
• 3:16
  with
• 3:16
  you
• 3:16
  about
• 3:17
  imposter
• 3:17
  syndrome.
• 3:18
  And
• 3:18
  it's
• 3:19
  something
• 3:19
  that
• 3:20
  has
• 3:20
  featured
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  lot
• 3:21
  and
• 3:22
  still
• 3:22
  does
• 3:22
  in
• 3:22
  my
• 3:23
  life.
• 3:23
  And
• 3:24
  people
• 3:24
  will
• 3:24
  see
• 3:25
  me
• 3:25
  speaking
• 3:26
  on
• 3:26
  stages,
• 3:27
  publishing
• 3:27
  my
• 3:28
  third
• 3:28
  book,
• 3:29
  doing
• 3:29
  all
• 3:30
  these
• 3:30
  amazing
• 3:30
  things,
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  they
• 3:31
  assume,
• 3:33
  oh,
• 3:33
  she
• 3:33
  knows
• 3:34
  what
• 3:34
  she's
• 3:34
  doing,
• 3:35
  super
• 3:35
  confident,
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  know,
• 3:37
  that's
• 3:38
  all
• 3:38
  fine,
• 3:39
  she
• 3:39
  won't
• 3:39
  be
• 3:39
  experiencing
• 3:40
  anything
• 3:41
  like
• 3:41
  this.
• 3:41
  I
• 3:42
  absolutely
• 3:42
  do.
• 3:43
  And
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  think
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  thing
• 3:43
  is,
• 3:44
  is
• 3:44
  that
• 3:44
  we
• 3:45
  shouldn't
• 3:45
  shy
• 3:46
  away
• 3:46
  from
• 3:47
  being
• 3:47
  open
• 3:48
  about
• 3:49
  some
• 3:49
  of
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  barriers
• 3:49
  that
• 3:50
  we
• 3:50
  have
• 3:50
  and
• 3:50
  challenges.
• 3:51
  Because
• 3:52
  I
• 3:52
  have
• 3:53
  experienced
• 3:53
  extreme
• 3:54
  imposter
• 3:55
  syndrome
• 3:55
  when
• 3:55
  I
• 3:56
  got
• 3:56
  my
• 3:56
  publishing
• 3:57
  contract.
• 3:57
  I've
• 3:57
  spoken
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  lot
• 3:58
  about
• 3:58
  this
• 3:58
  in
• 3:58
  the
• 3:59
  past
• 3:59
  and
• 4:00
  people
• 4:00
  would
• 4:00
  think,
• 4:00
  you
• 4:01
  know,
• 4:01
  you
• 4:01
  must
• 4:01
  be
• 4:01
  overjoyed.
• 4:03
  You've
• 4:03
  got
• 4:03
  this
• 4:03
  amazing
• 4:04
  book
• 4:04
  deal
• 4:04
  with
• 4:05
  Wiley.
• 4:05
  I'd
• 4:06
  written
• 4:06
  the
• 4:06
  manuscript,
• 4:07
  I'd
• 4:07
  submitted
• 4:08
  it,
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  was
• 4:08
  just
• 4:09
  literally
• 4:09
  overcome
• 4:11
  with
• 4:11
  this
• 4:11
  fear,
• 4:12
  this
• 4:12
  fear
• 4:13
  that
• 4:14
  was
• 4:14
  completely
• 4:14
  irrational.
• 4:15
  You
• 4:15
  know,
• 4:15
  no
• 4:16
  one
• 4:16
  will
• 4:16
  buy
• 4:16
  it
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  what
• 4:17
  happens
• 4:17
  if
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  publishers
• 4:18
  hate
• 4:18
  it
• 4:18
  and
• 4:18
  all
• 4:18
  of
• 4:19
  these
• 4:19
  things
• 4:19
  and
• 4:20
  who
• 4:20
  am
• 4:20
  I
• 4:20
  to
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  write
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  book?
• 4:22
  But
• 4:23
  even
• 4:23
  now,
• 4:24
  you
• 4:24
  know,
• 4:24
  there's
• 4:25
  different
• 4:25
  things
• 4:26
  that
• 4:26
  imposter
• 4:27
  syndrome
• 4:27
  will
• 4:27
  come
• 4:27
  from.
• 4:28
  So
• 4:28
  every
• 4:28
  new
• 4:29
  opportunity,
• 4:31
  something
• 4:31
  that
• 4:31
  is
• 4:31
  not
• 4:32
  my
• 4:32
  normality,
• 4:34
  often
• 4:34
  is
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  trigger
• 4:35
  that
• 4:35
  will
• 4:35
  push
• 4:36
  me
• 4:36
  into
• 4:37
  imposter
• 4:38
  syndrome.
• 4:39
  And
• 4:39
  this
• 4:40
  is
• 4:40
  true
• 4:40
  with
• 4:40
  so
• 4:40
  many
• 4:40
  people
• 4:41
  that
• 4:41
  I
• 4:41
  meet.
• 4:41
  And
• 4:42
  this
• 4:42
  may
• 4:42
  be
• 4:43
  something
• 4:43
  you've
• 4:43
  experienced
• 4:44
  yourself,
• 4:44
  because
• 4:45
  if
• 4:46
  it's
• 4:46
  not
• 4:46
  our
• 4:46
  normal,
• 4:47
  we're
• 4:47
  like,
• 4:47
  well,
• 4:48
  I've
• 4:48
  not
• 4:48
  done
• 4:48
  this
• 4:48
  before,
• 4:49
  should
• 4:49
  I
• 4:49
  be
• 4:49
  doing
• 4:49
  it?
• 4:49
  Am
• 4:49
  I
• 4:50
  good
• 4:50
  enough
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  do
• 4:50
  it?
• 4:50
  And
• 4:50
  we
• 4:50
  start
• 4:51
  questioning.
• 4:52
  These
• 4:52
  are
• 4:52
  all
• 4:53
  fear
• 4:53
  based.
• 4:53
  This
• 4:54
  is
• 4:54
  basically
• 4:54
  what
• 4:55
  imposter
• 4:55
  syndrome
• 4:56
  is.
• 4:57
  But
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  want
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  welcome
• 4:58
  fear
• 4:59
  and
• 4:59
  see
• 5:00
  fear
• 5:00
  as
• 5:01
  a
• 5:01
  point
• 5:01
  of
• 5:02
  growth,
• 5:02
  a
• 5:03
  point
• 5:03
  of
• 5:03
  opportunity,
• 5:04
  a
• 5:04
  point
• 5:05
  that
• 5:05
  is
• 5:06
  moving
• 5:06
  forward.
• 5:07
  And
• 5:08
  that
• 5:08
  fear
• 5:08
  can
• 5:08
  often
• 5:09
  be
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  catalyst,
• 5:10
  because
• 5:11
  if
• 5:11
  we
• 5:11
  can
• 5:11
  navigate
• 5:12
  and
• 5:12
  we
• 5:13
  can
• 5:13
  literally
• 5:13
  embrace
• 5:14
  imposter
• 5:15
  syndrome
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  do
• 5:16
  it
• 5:16
  anyway,
• 5:17
  then
• 5:18
  we
• 5:18
  start
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  see
• 5:18
  things
• 5:19
  differently.
• 5:20
  As
• 5:20
  soon
• 5:21
  as
• 5:21
  I'd
• 5:21
  obviously
• 5:22
  handed
• 5:22
  my
• 5:22
  manuscript
• 5:23
  in,
• 5:24
  I
• 5:24
  got
• 5:24
  some
• 5:25
  amazing
• 5:25
  feedback.
• 5:26
  I
• 5:27
  got
• 5:28
  an
• 5:28
  award
• 5:29
  before
• 5:29
  my
• 5:30
  book
• 5:30
  even
• 5:30
  came
• 5:30
  out.
• 5:31
  I
• 5:31
  was
• 5:31
  shortlisted
• 5:32
  for
• 5:32
  another
• 5:33
  award
• 5:33
  in
• 5:34
  a
• 5:34
  matter
• 5:34
  of
• 5:34
  seven
• 5:34
  days.
• 5:35
  I
• 5:35
  got
• 5:35
  bestseller
• 5:36
  in,
• 5:37
  like,
• 5:37
  you
• 5:37
  know,
• 5:38
  as
• 5:38
  soon
• 5:38
  as
• 5:38
  it
• 5:38
  launched
• 5:39
  it,
• 5:39
  all
• 5:39
  of
• 5:40
  these
• 5:40
  things,
• 5:40
  like,
• 5:41
  my
• 5:41
  whole
• 5:41
  fear
• 5:42
  was
• 5:42
  irrational.
• 5:43
  And
• 5:43
  what
• 5:43
  it
• 5:43
  was
• 5:44
  is
• 5:44
  my
• 5:45
  fear
• 5:45
  was
• 5:45
  coming
• 5:45
  from
• 5:46
  uncertainty.
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  didn't
• 5:47
  know
• 5:48
  what
• 5:48
  was
• 5:48
  going
• 5:48
  to
• 5:48
  happen.
• 5:49
  And
• 5:49
  because
• 5:50
  it
• 5:50
  wasn't
• 5:50
  my
• 5:51
  normal
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  it
• 5:52
  wasn't
• 5:52
  something
• 5:52
  I'd
• 5:52
  done
• 5:53
  before
• 5:53
  my
• 5:54
  brain
• 5:54
  started
• 5:55
  challenging
• 5:55
  me.
• 5:56
  So
• 5:57
  I
• 5:57
  had
• 5:57
  to
• 5:57
  reteach
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  narrative
• 5:59
  around
• 6:00
  my
• 6:01
  imposter
• 6:01
  syndrome.
• 6:02
  And
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  think
• 6:03
  this
• 6:03
  technique
• 6:04
  will
• 6:04
  really
• 6:04
  help.
• 6:04
  Anyone
• 6:05
  who's
• 6:05
  experienced
• 6:06
  this
• 6:07
  will
• 6:07
  know
• 6:07
  that
• 6:07
  it
• 6:07
  can
• 6:07
  be
• 6:08
  quite
• 6:08
  consuming,
• 6:08
  and
• 6:09
  it
• 6:09
  can
• 6:09
  be
• 6:10
  something
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  will
• 6:11
  just
• 6:12
  literally
• 6:13
  stop
• 6:13
  you
• 6:13
  in
• 6:13
  your
• 6:13
  tracks,
• 6:15
  embrace
• 6:16
  it,
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  start
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  really
• 6:17
  understand
• 6:18
  what
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  imposter
• 6:19
  syndrome
• 6:20
  is.
• 6:20
  And
• 6:20
  what
• 6:21
  I
• 6:21
  do
• 6:21
  is
• 6:21
  I
• 6:22
  love
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  visualize
• 6:23
  it.
• 6:24
  So
• 6:24
  instead
• 6:24
  of
• 6:25
  just
• 6:25
  trying
• 6:25
  to
• 6:25
  think
• 6:25
  through
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  problem,
• 6:27
  we
• 6:27
  can't
• 6:27
  outthink
• 6:28
  our
• 6:28
  brain.
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  take
• 6:29
  pen
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  paper,
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  what
• 6:31
  I
• 6:31
  do
• 6:31
  is
• 6:32
  I
• 6:32
  start
• 6:32
  to
• 6:32
  draw
• 6:33
  out
• 6:34
  what
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  thing
• 6:35
  is
• 6:35
  that
• 6:36
  is
• 6:36
  creating
• 6:36
  the
• 6:37
  imposter
• 6:37
  syndrome.
• 6:37
  It
• 6:37
  could
• 6:38
  be
• 6:38
  an
• 6:38
  opportunity
• 6:39
  or
• 6:40
  some
• 6:41
  new
• 6:41
  thing
• 6:42
  that
• 6:42
  is
• 6:42
  happening
• 6:42
  or
• 6:43
  that
• 6:43
  I'm
• 6:43
  about
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  do.
• 6:45
  And
• 6:45
  I
• 6:45
  label
• 6:46
  it,
• 6:46
  and
• 6:46
  I
• 6:47
  really
• 6:47
  immerse
• 6:48
  myself
• 6:48
  into
• 6:49
  that.
• 6:49
  And
• 6:50
  then
• 6:50
  I
• 6:50
  start
• 6:50
  writing
• 6:51
  down
• 6:52
  all
• 6:52
  of
• 6:52
  my
• 6:52
  fears,
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  I
• 6:54
  put
• 6:54
  them
• 6:54
  out
• 6:54
  around
• 6:55
  it.
• 6:56
  Now,
• 6:56
  just
• 6:56
  by
• 6:56
  doing
• 6:57
  that
• 6:57
  one
• 6:57
  practice,
• 6:58
  what
• 6:59
  actually
• 6:59
  starts
• 7:00
  to
• 7:00
  kick
• 7:00
  in
• 7:01
  is
• 7:01
  my
• 7:01
  rational
• 7:02
  brain.
• 7:03
  A
• 7:03
  lot
• 7:04
  of
• 7:04
  these
• 7:04
  thoughts
• 7:04
  are
• 7:05
  coming
• 7:05
  irrationally,
• 7:06
  because
• 7:06
  if
• 7:07
  I've
• 7:07
  not
• 7:07
  done
• 7:07
  something
• 7:08
  before,
• 7:09
  my
• 7:09
  brain
• 7:10
  will.
• 7:10
  Will
• 7:10
  go
• 7:11
  to
• 7:11
  its
• 7:11
  reference
• 7:11
  point,
• 7:12
  almost
• 7:12
  like
• 7:12
  its
• 7:13
  archive.
• 7:13
  And
• 7:14
  if
• 7:14
  I
• 7:14
  don't
• 7:14
  have
• 7:15
  an
• 7:15
  archive
• 7:16
  to
• 7:16
  go
• 7:16
  to,
• 7:17
  it
• 7:17
  starts
• 7:18
  creating
• 7:19
  possibilities.
• 7:21
  Okay?
• 7:22
  But
• 7:22
  because
• 7:23
  our
• 7:23
  brain
• 7:24
  likes
• 7:24
  to
• 7:24
  protect
• 7:25
  us,
• 7:25
  our
• 7:25
  amygdala,
• 7:26
  often
• 7:27
  in
• 7:27
  uncertain
• 7:28
  situations,
• 7:29
  will
• 7:29
  then
• 7:30
  go
• 7:30
  into
• 7:30
  overprotective
• 7:31
  mode,
• 7:32
  which
• 7:32
  is
• 7:32
  like,
• 7:33
  oh,
• 7:33
  this
• 7:33
  is
• 7:33
  dangerous.
• 7:34
  Let's
• 7:34
  think
• 7:34
  of
• 7:35
  all
• 7:35
  of
• 7:35
  the
• 7:35
  bad
• 7:35
  things
• 7:36
  that
• 7:36
  can
• 7:36
  happen.
• 7:38
  This
• 7:38
  is
• 7:38
  how
• 7:38
  we
• 7:38
  get
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  imposter
• 7:39
  syndrome.
• 7:40
  So
• 7:41
  once
• 7:41
  I've
• 7:42
  called
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  out
• 7:43
  and
• 7:43
  I've
• 7:43
  looked
• 7:43
  at
• 7:44
  all
• 7:44
  of
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  irrational
• 7:45
  statements,
• 7:45
  I
• 7:46
  go
• 7:46
  around
• 7:46
  and
• 7:47
  look
• 7:47
  at
• 7:47
  all
• 7:47
  of
• 7:47
  the
• 7:48
  rational
• 7:48
  statements.
• 7:49
  I
• 7:49
  start
• 7:50
  to
• 7:50
  chart
• 7:50
  out
• 7:51
  all
• 7:51
  of
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  good,
• 7:52
  all
• 7:52
  of
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  amazing
• 7:54
  things
• 7:54
  that
• 7:54
  can
• 7:55
  come
• 7:55
  from
• 7:55
  it.
• 7:56
  Now,
• 7:56
  if
• 7:56
  you've
• 7:56
  ever
• 7:56
  heard
• 7:57
  me
• 7:57
  talk
• 7:57
  about
• 7:57
  risk,
• 7:59
  this
• 7:59
  is
• 7:59
  an
• 7:59
  interesting
• 8:00
  one
• 8:00
  because
• 8:01
  this
• 8:02
  is
• 8:02
  about
• 8:02
  taking
• 8:02
  a
• 8:03
  calculated
• 8:03
  risk.
• 8:04
  So
• 8:04
  what
• 8:04
  we're
• 8:04
  actually
• 8:05
  doing
• 8:05
  is
• 8:05
  we're
• 8:05
  doing
• 8:06
  a
• 8:06
  little
• 8:06
  audit
• 8:07
  on
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  opportunity.
• 8:08
  We're
• 8:08
  saying,
• 8:08
  here.
• 8:09
  Here's
• 8:09
  all
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  bad
• 8:10
  things
• 8:10
  that
• 8:10
  can
• 8:10
  happen,
• 8:10
  and
• 8:11
  here's
• 8:11
  all
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  good
• 8:11
  things.
• 8:12
  And
• 8:12
  we're
• 8:13
  weighing
• 8:13
  it
• 8:13
  up.
• 8:13
  And
• 8:14
  if
• 8:14
  we
• 8:14
  decide
• 8:15
  that
• 8:15
  all
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  good
• 8:16
  things
• 8:16
  are
• 8:17
  so
• 8:17
  magical
• 8:17
  and
• 8:18
  so
• 8:18
  special
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  outweigh
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  bad,
• 8:20
  let's
• 8:20
  feel
• 8:21
  the
• 8:21
  fear,
• 8:22
  face
• 8:22
  it,
• 8:22
  and
• 8:23
  do
• 8:23
  it
• 8:23
  anyway.
• 8:25
  Now,
• 8:25
  what
• 8:25
  we've
• 8:25
  also
• 8:26
  done
• 8:26
  by
• 8:26
  that
• 8:27
  point
• 8:27
  is
• 8:27
  we've
• 8:28
  retrained
• 8:28
  and
• 8:29
  rewired
• 8:29
  our
• 8:29
  brain.
• 8:29
  We've
• 8:30
  told
• 8:30
  it
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  different
• 8:31
  narrative,
• 8:31
  we've
• 8:32
  calmed
• 8:32
  our
• 8:32
  amygdala
• 8:33
  because
• 8:33
  we've
• 8:34
  gone,
• 8:34
  well,
• 8:34
  look,
• 8:34
  okay,
• 8:35
  you've
• 8:35
  presented
• 8:35
  all
• 8:35
  of
• 8:36
  these
• 8:36
  things,
• 8:37
  but
• 8:37
  we've
• 8:37
  just
• 8:37
  done
• 8:38
  a
• 8:38
  health
• 8:38
  and
• 8:38
  safety
• 8:39
  audit
• 8:39
  for
• 8:39
  you
• 8:40
  and
• 8:40
  told
• 8:40
  you
• 8:40
  all
• 8:40
  the
• 8:41
  positive
• 8:41
  things
• 8:42
  and
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  chances
• 8:42
  of
• 8:43
  these
• 8:43
  things
• 8:43
  happening.
• 8:44
  So
• 8:45
  we're
• 8:45
  reducing
• 8:46
  the
• 8:46
  fear
• 8:46
  around
• 8:47
  it.
• 8:47
  We're
• 8:47
  creating
• 8:48
  a
• 8:48
  new
• 8:48
  narrative.
• 8:49
  We're
• 8:50
  leaning
• 8:50
  in
• 8:50
  to
• 8:51
  the
• 8:51
  possibilities,
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  opportunities
• 8:52
  and
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  goodness
• 8:53
  that
• 8:54
  can
• 8:54
  come
• 8:54
  from
• 8:54
  this,
• 8:55
  and
• 8:55
  we'll
• 8:56
  do
• 8:56
  it
• 8:56
  anyway.
• 8:57
  So
• 8:57
  if
• 8:58
  you
• 8:58
  have
• 8:59
  faced
• 8:59
  imposter
• 9:00
  syndrome,
• 9:00
  please
• 9:01
  embrace
• 9:01
  this
• 9:01
  activity.
• 9:03
  Lean
• 9:03
  into
• 9:03
  it.
• 9:04
  Don't
• 9:04
  just
• 9:04
  try
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  suppress
• 9:05
  it,
• 9:06
  because
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  won't
• 9:06
  be
• 9:06
  able
• 9:07
  to.
• 9:07
  It
• 9:07
  will
• 9:07
  just
• 9:08
  linger.
• 9:08
  And
• 9:08
  we
• 9:09
  know
• 9:09
  with
• 9:09
  anything,
• 9:09
  like,
• 9:09
  if
• 9:10
  you've
• 9:10
  got
• 9:10
  something
• 9:10
  on
• 9:11
  your
• 9:11
  mind,
• 9:12
  it
• 9:12
  weighs
• 9:13
  you
• 9:13
  down,
• 9:13
  it
• 9:13
  makes
• 9:13
  you
• 9:14
  tired,
• 9:14
  and
• 9:15
  it
• 9:15
  really
• 9:15
  does
• 9:16
  change
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  whole
• 9:17
  way
• 9:17
  you're
• 9:17
  thinking
• 9:17
  about
• 9:17
  a
• 9:18
  situation.
• 9:19
  Just
• 9:19
  by
• 9:19
  facing
• 9:20
  it,
• 9:20
  addressing
• 9:21
  it,
• 9:21
  visualizing
• 9:22
  it,
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  putting
• 9:22
  pen
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  paper
• 9:23
  can
• 9:24
  really
• 9:24
  start
• 9:24
  to
• 9:24
  reframe.
• 9:26
  This
• 9:26
  opportunity
• 9:27
  is
• 9:27
  a
• 9:27
  really
• 9:27
  positive
• 9:28
  one.
• 9:29
  So
• 9:29
  what
• 9:29
  actually
• 9:30
  happens
• 9:30
  is
• 9:30
  we're
• 9:31
  dissipating
• 9:31
  our
• 9:32
  imposter
• 9:32
  syndrome
• 9:33
  because
• 9:33
  we're
• 9:33
  taking
• 9:34
  away
• 9:35
  its
• 9:35
  power.
• 9:36
  So
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  hope
• 9:37
  you
• 9:37
  enjoyed
• 9:38
  this
• 9:38
