It Didn’t Start with You by Mark Wolynn

The Fisher-Wallace Stimulator

Interview with Chip Fisher

Jen Coken is the executive coach for Badass Boss Ladies who are ready to smash obstacles, jump over hurdles, and grab snarling dogs by the ears. For twenty years she’s been beating down BS with a velvet sledgehammer tasseled with humor. She is also an international speaker and best-selling author. When she isn’t doing all of that, you can find her performing stand-up comedy or eating Nutella by the spoonful in the nearest grocery aisle.

• Jen’s mission is to empower others to fulfill their missions.
• The problem comes from comparing ourselves to others. Also, working all of the time (Superwomen or Superman complex)
• Because people with the syndrome often think they don’t belong, they are constantly trying to overcompensate.
• Jen talks about the different manifestations of imposter syndrome and the techniques she uses to help people deal with imposter syndrome.
• Calling it imposter syndrome allows us to better understand why we do what we do so we can deal with it.
• Rather than calling it a syndrome, call it a phenomenon. That way, you aren’t saying there’s something wrong with you.
• Feeling like an imposter happens any time you doubt yourself.
• Jen tells us how to recognize the reactive emotions that show up and what triggered those emotions.
• She also discusses how she helps people develop new habitual responses.
