Episode 162: Is This Seat For Me? How To Work Our Way Around or Through Imposter Syndrome with Sheila Buswell
Connect with Sheila Buswell:
One of the things that makes imposter syndrome so tricky is to make you believe you are the only one feeling that way. Even the most accomplished person you know, most likely second-guessed themselves and asked if not hundreds, thousands of times: am I good enough?
If you have anything important to say to your imposter syndrome, you better do it today because, after today's episode, you might not see it again. I'm joined by the inspiring Sheila Buswell, CEO and co-founder of Buswell Biomedical, US Army Veteran, and author of "Is this Seat for Me?: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome in Everyday Life and Business."
Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Sheila's journey from a medical discharge from the US Army to inventing a solution for those needing daily care. You'll also hear about the human tendency to make everything about us and how to deal with it, practical tips and advice to make imposter syndrome part of your past, and how to stop shoulding all over yourself.
Additionally, Sheila talks about the spark that ignited her entrepreneurial side, the story behind her book, and much more.
