Soultuitive Leaders With Clare Josa
Hosted by Clare Josa · EN
The Soultuitive® Leaders podcast is for business leaders who are making waves and changing the rules - with their hearts, not just their heads.
Where others stress about the status quo, you're the action-taker who drives the changes. Making a difference and being a crusader is hard-wired into your DNA. You want to lead from your heart in a head-based world, but it can feel lonely and exhausting out there on the leading edge.
Episodes include interviews with trailblazers, sharing the secrets of how they've achieved their success, and inspirational how-to, to create breakthroughs on topics as diverse as Imposter Syndrome, natural resilience, and influencing authentically, to have the impact your ideas and dreams deserve.

Oct 15, 202100:16:12Tap to summarizeOne of the things I'm asked most often by leaders, at the end of a keynote, is how to bring up the subject of Imposter Syndrome with a colleague or team member - and then what to do to help them.It's so easy to freeze, or talk ourselves out of broaching it, or worry that the other person will react badly, or that we won't know what to say or do next...... So we avoid it. And that leaves the person stuck. It perpetuates the taboo. And we feel bad, because we wanted to make a difference.So in today's Soul Led Leaders podcast episode I'm going to share with you what you can do, mistakes to avoid, and how to find out what to do to move beyond 'tea and sympathy' if you've got it right and the person wants help.In today's episode of the Soul Led Leaders podcast, you'll discover:Why we bottle it!The risks of getting it wrongThe two things you must (I don't use that word lightly!) do, before you take that deep breath and leap inHow to start the conversationThe five super-common mistakes to avoidAnd how to actually help the person to turn things aroundShow notes and the gift PDF training I mention are here: soulledleaders.fm/27/
