0:00.0	This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 487.
0:13.2	Imposter syndrome, I believe, is when doubt becomes so pervasive that we self-sabotage.
0:18.9	We don't apply for jobs we're fully qualified for. We continue to play small. We continue not to ask for things.
0:24.6	What would you do if you had a little more confidence? Would you take the next step in your career, assume more leading roles, set boundaries, ask for a raise or even run for office?
0:33.6	Doubt and imposter feelings are a big reason many hold back and play small

1:34.1	is reading a particular book with other people and then discussing it, you know, like a book club.
1:39.7	Well, that will soon be a new edition coming to Read to Lead Plus. You've heard me talk about in the past
1:45.9	all that's available inside the Read to Lead community already, things like a weekly business
1:50.9	book summary, the chance to network with people who take personal and professional development
1:55.2	as seriously as you do, to be spotlighted in front of all of our members for an entire month.
2:00.2	The monthly themed AMAs
2:01.7	ask me anythings that I host, our monthly guest experts, and more. Imagine all that plus
