Everyday Leadership

Leading with Honesty, Vulnerability and Humour with Shari Foos
EPISODE 71 • SEASON 00:51:08
“If I don’t ask that question that I am curious about, so I stop my potential of learning right there” - Shari Foos

Are you afraid of looking like you don’t know, or being “caught out” that you don’t know? Most of us (if not all of us), face some level of imposter syndrome, especially when in the growth zone. With hindsight, we can see that we are more than our hard times, but when in those moments, ask yourself “is that all that is true”?

In this week’s episode, Shari Foos, shares relatable insight, steps and movements we can all take to not only get out of the negative self-talk loops but be able to address this to lead ourselves, and others, with this vulnerability.

And sometimes....it’s about using humour to find release and relief.
