Don't look dumb.

Shut your mouth before you say something stupid.

There is some BIG influence in that room. Everything you say will impact your career.

Does this sound like your internal voice berating you in every social or business situation?

I built my reputation in high-tech sales by gaining access to C-suite executives of large corporations.

Yay, me. But truth be told, I fell apart when it was time to present strategy.

I would always strap myself to my higher executives and sales engineers and default to their expertise and insight.

I mean, it was a team selling environment, but still, most meetings?

I literally had no idea what I was doing.

I chalk it up to presumably being a "personality hire."

On a steady diet of perpetual anxiety and fear-of-being-found-out and conveniently covering up my imposter syndrome with my favorite tool... over-confidence, it's no wonder I burned out.

I'm still tired!

Have you ever struggled with confidence but in subtle, sneaky ways?

I'm learning this is super common with high-performing women - ESPECIALLY in male-dominated board rooms.

I heard about "The Pedestal Syndrome" from bestselling author of Closing the Confidence Gap and executive coach, Kelli Thompson.

I knew immediately, I had to bring her to you.

Listen to today's episode of Reinvention Room and let's close the confidence gap together!
