Summary
Do you feel the need to be perfect, and at the same time, think you’ll never be good enough? As a man, husband, and father, are you plagued by deep-rooted feelings of insecurity and inadequacy, leaving you terrified that people will find out you have no idea what you’re doing? That’s your imposter in charge and he’s preventing you from living as who you really are.
Mike Kitko is an Executive Self-Mastery Coach, speaker, and author. After a colossal career and personal meltdown, he found his true purpose: inspiring leaders to find the power in their authenticity, purpose, and passion.
Today, Mike Kitko talks about how imposter syndrome ruled his life and how he overcame it. He teaches us how to cultivate self-awareness and diffuse the imposter before it sabotages our lives. He also tells us how to stop running from fear and start chasing our purpose so we can provide a loving, safe, and prosperous environment for our families.
Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? How do you defeat the imposter in charge? Find out in this episode!
