157. How to Overcome Impostor Syndrome and Conquer Your Doubts With Laura Gassner Otting - a podcast by Grant Baldwin
from 2017-10-31T07:00
Do you know how to overcome Impostor Syndrome, that voice inside that doubts you? It's that voice that says you don't belong on stage, you aren't good enough, etc. Nearly everyone has that voice, but there are ways to conquer it and our guest today shares some of them.
Laura Gassner Otting is relatively new to speaking, but she has 25+ years of CEO and entrepreneurial experience that she draws from on stage.
She is also an executive coach, a writer, and a consultant. Her work stems from her belief in Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy that we all have the ability to be great because we all can serve.
Today we focus on how she differentiates herself from other speakers in her niche, why she's added live coaching to her talks, and why it's okay to be an introverted speaker.
You'll also hear how she joined former President Clinton's presidential campaign, and how she mentally prepares for her speaking gigs.
Be sure to join us for that and more on episode 157 of The Speaker Lab!
