Debunking Imposter Syndrome w/Nancy Medoff
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, & iHeart Radio
Welcome back to RAVEL Radio. Today we're talking to Nancy Medoff. Nancy is globally recognized as an authority on women and confidence and she won’t stop until women everywhere step into their strengths so they can show up like own the room.
After close to three decades of walking her talk in corporate sales leadership, Nancy is now a best-selling author, keynote speaker, top 25% podcaster and, executive coach has literally “written the book" on women and confidence. Her book Unmute Yourself and Speak Up to Stand Out is a game changer and a call to action for women who are ready not just to get their seat at the table – but to help build a bigger table.
Nancy was once a fan of imposter syndrome, but has since started to see it as a crutch and limited belief. She explains that men often have the same feelings of being unsure, but take the risk anyway. She encourages people to acknowledge, accept, and not let it stand in the way of taking action. Nancy gives a three-step process to overcoming imposter syndrome, which includes using recall, redirect, and excitement to combat the feeling and take action.
