The Loneliest Time of My Career

Loading player...

I remember it like it was yesterday: a new senior manager feeling like an imposter. I felt like a fraud, like I was going to make a mess of everything the organization had trusted me with. It was the loneliest time of my career.
My brilliance, the very thing that got me there, seemed to have vanished. It wasn't until I found a life coach that I was able to put the pieces back together and carve a new path.
This experience taught me a powerful lesson: confidence isn't something we just have; it's an outcome of what we do. It’s the result of being comfortable with yourself and your unique journey.
If you've ever felt like an imposter, this podcast is for you. In "Conversations with my daughters," I'll be sharing stories from my own life and from other incredible women to help you navigate your professional journey with authenticity.
Stay tuned for our first episode!
