Nearly every professional has felt like a fraud at one time or another and the higher you advance in leadership and responsibility, the more likely moments of inadequacy or "being found out" occur.  While the drive to be confident in professional roles can have its benefits, it also tends to raise the likelihood of imposter syndrome emerging.  Jen Coken  is a comedian, coach, speaker, and Imposter Syndrome expert. She transforms womxn executives and founders from being stuck and fearful of making the wrong decision, to owning their expertise, having confidence in the direction they’re headed, and the courage to be with the uncertainty.  She shares client examples of recognizing where their imposter syndrome initiated, how it became their superpower, and how they moved through the "fraud" to become more effective leaders.  Hear the different types of imposters and ways to flip your narrative to work more for you.

Jen Coken is a keynote speaker, Imposter Syndrome expert, author, humorist, and international executive coach on a global mission to empower C-Suite-level executives and their teams to have the audacity to be themselves and to lead without limits.

Jen has been leading women to personal and professional success for over two decades and in this episode we discuss:

• What it means to truly be present and listen to that quiet voice inside
• Finding answers in the stillness
• How to handle the 2x4's that life throws at you - including her own cancer diagnosis
• The importance of FEELING our feelings
• How SHE helps her executives step into their own greatness
• And SO...MUCH...MORE

Whether you are a top-level executive or the CEO of your household, this episode is jam packed with advice to help you live an authentic and fulfilling life!

Jen Coken is an executive coach and recovering stand-up comedian. Jen at an early age knew that she had to be the funny one because she never fit into the traditional archetype of the 'pretty girl.' She went down a journey of self-discovery a few years ago and discovered all of this was a byproduct of imposter syndrome. Today's episode covers what is imposter syndrome, why everyone has it, and how to overcome these thoughts that are weighing you down.

Key Takeaways

• What is imposter syndrome?
• When our brain feels a signal that we're threatened, we start to develop coping mechanisms to help us overcome them.
• Jen learned early on that she was going to be the funny side-kick. She didn't fit into the model of the 'pretty one.'
• Everyone has imposter syndrome.
• Jen takes the lead and begins to coach Michelle on her own show!
• Men struggle with speaking out just as much as women do. However, they're not as verbal about it as women are.
• When Michelle's in a meeting, what is she afraid of?
• Don't let your inner upset eight-year-old ruin your entire life.
• It's only natural that we develop brain patterns to protect ourselves and to play it safe.
• If you didn't have these thoughts holding you back, what kind of person would you be?
• What we see in others, a lot of times, is what we see in ourselves that we don't like.
• What you can't be, robs you of your power. If we are angry and reactive, our power gets robbed from being proactive.
• How do you get your power back? You look within.
• Jen shares a childhood story about anger when she was 15.
• The desire to help women overcome imposter syndrome and the framework to empower women started a long time ago for Jen because of what she had to overcome.

Quotes

Michelle's quote: "As you further yourself on the ladder of success, the better chance you have that you will struggle with imposter syndrome to a greater degree."

"If you feel like you have to do it alone because if you asked for help, people would know you really didn't have what it takes — that's imposter syndrome."

"She is looking for people to be critical of her, which is completely shutting down her voice."

"If I wasn't having all of these stupid thoughts questioning myself, who would I be?"

Have you ever struggled with imposter syndrome? Most of us have. Maybe you have struggled with imposter syndrome and didn't even realize that's what you were struggling with.

Today's Guest: Jen Coken

This is the part where I share my life story, right?

If it’s okay with you I’d like to go about this another way. (Or if boring is your thing, check out my LinkedIn!)

Rather than give you a TEDx-worthy rendition of how I found my way to coaching executive leaders and their teams for the past 20 years, I want to share a few of the things that make me tick.  

To me, work and play are one.

When you’re juggling a tangle of responsibilities or wading your way through a full-stop crisis, life can seem so serious. Embracing the ridiculousness of life is what keeps me afloat. Humor and playfulness are what make me feel less alone and help me “get it all done."

Questions are my best friends.

And listening? We gab over chips and guac every Tuesday night. My point is, I love discovery and looking at circumstances with new eyes. And: I whole-heartedly enjoy pushing boundaries and throwing bias to the side. It’s how we get into uncharted territory (and how I survived 30 years as a grassroots organizer in politics).  

Others just call me “The Sledgehammer.” I tend to cut through the crap and I’ve got a serious thing for authenticity. My vision is a world where you are free to be yourself, grounded in who you are, and achieving your soul's purpose, but arriving there begins with getting real about why things are the way they are — in a judgement-free space, of course.

From the Episode:

"If you're allowing imposter syndrome to rule over your life, you're not expressing yourself." -Dr. T

"When I started creating boundaries and saying no gracefully, my productivity went through the rough." -Jen Coken

Imposter Syndrome is the single biggest roadblock to our progress, yet we hardly discuss it. Why?

If you don't have some form of Imposter Syndrome, you're not playing a big enough game or not stretching yourself.

Most people are unaware they even have it or the impact of its presence in our personal and professional lives.

The questioning and doubting of ourselves comes to us naturally. Some hallmarks of Imposter Syndrome are:

• Trying to be a perfectionist.
• Setting incredibly high bars for ourselves and ruminate for days afterwards when we miss them
• Going in 'low' and not asking for help
• Not trusting our teams to have our backs
• Refusing to delegate
• Thinking you don't know enough yet

So how can we overcome these feelings? Listen in today for help finding that trigger point in you and overcoming it so you can show up as who you were meant to be.

For our listeners, Jen has a quick 20-question quiz for you to take to get a sense of the 'flavor' of your Imposter Syndrome. For anyone who takes the quiz, Jen's offering a free 20-30 minute session with her to breakdown your results and give you suggested tools to use.

In today's episode, I'm joined by my amazing friend, Jen Coken!⁠

Jen is going to be teaching you all about...

What would you tell your younger self, if given the chance? When it comes to finding meaning and purpose, Jen Coken says it's more about what your younger self can tell you. Jen is an author, life coach and comedian who helps people identify and fulfill their "soul purpose" in both their professional and personal lives. She joins Lynne Golodner on this week's episode of the Make Meaning podcast to talk about her own journey to purpose, and keys for finding direction, challenging your self-made limitations, and forging a successful path to reach your goals. What makes your heart sing?

If you’re a business owner who feels like you’ve lost your power, our guest today is going to come in and shatter all of your doubts. She’ll help you embrace your genius and own your success! She’s really going to be your personal wrecking ball, pulling down all of the fears that are keeping you from the life you want. Our guest is Jen Coken, an expert on imposter syndrome, and we’re talking about how you can get out of your own way and gain the success you want!

I’m sure you all know what imposter syndrome is, but maybe it’s difficult to see it in your own life. There are a few different types of imposter syndrome that Jen talks about, which may help you figure out if and how you are affected by it. What they all have in common is this moment in your past, usually a small experience, that made you feel like you weren’t enough. Unfortunately, this little experience may still be stuck with you and affecting your mentality. To overcome this, you’ll need to examine this experience and how it is affecting you and move past it. 

If you’re a high achiever, (and I know you are because you are even reading this) then imposter syndrome may be a bigger problem for you than for most people. The more you want, the more you have to overcome. You’ll face more doubts because you have a lot more that you are working towards. So if you have lots of goals and lots of doubts, don’t worry! It’s natural. 

The type of people that don’t get pulled down by their imposter syndrome are the kind of people who love solutions. We’re the solution people, the people who make things work even when they aren’t going our way. So if you’re struggling with doubts, focus on solutions. You’ll get somewhere, I promise, and it will be good. 

Imposter syndrome is a big problem for a lot of you because I hear you talking about it all the time. From both Jen and I: we know you can be the powerful and successful women that you want to be. Don’t get in your own way! Take the success and profit you want! If you want to hear more on this topic, listen to the podcast! Watch out for another episode in the next few days! 

Main Topics: 

Imposter Syndrome

Why High Achievers feel more doubt

The type of people that overcome Imposter Syndrome

Key Takeaways:

“We’re always trying to be like other people, fit into other people’s idea of who we should be, fit into some other mold. You know what: do it your way because when you’re doing it your way, people are attracted to you.”

“If you don't have imposter syndrome, you are not playing a big enough game.” 

“The only person in your way is you. So get out of your dang way!”

Do you feel that persistent urge to ensure that everything you say or do comes out as perfectly as you envisioned? Chances are you have the impostor syndrome – that constant urge to put up out of fear of being put down. For all the good it may have done in prodding us to productivity and excellence, we are better off without it in many ways. Joining Juliet Clark on the show, comedian, bestselling author and executive coach for Badass Boss Ladies, Jen Coken, talks about how we can start to recognize this tendency in ourselves and how we can deal with it. It all begins with the understanding that dealing with something deeply rooted in our brains and personalities calls for the creation of entirely new neural pathways through rigorous habit formation.

Did you know that the term "imposter syndrome" isn't correct? It's really called the "imposter phenomenon" because syndrome means that it's a diagnosable disease, and it's not. It's a phenomenon. Everyone has imposter syndrome, even the greatest minds. We all have inner critics, so how do we get rid of them? Listen to today's episode to find out as Elizabeth Bachman interviews Jen Coken. Jen coaches executive women to embrace their genius, shatter their limiting beliefs, and surrender to the extraordinary power of living an authentic life. Today's episode will teach you how to fight imposter syndrome and discover how amazing you really are.

Jen Coken, an 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.

Jen is also a national speaker whose keynotes and trainings are for leaders and their teams who crave actionable lessons from the heart, packed with a powerful punch. Her best-selling book, "When I Die, Take My Panties," is an inspiring, raw, and at times, funny memoir about coping with her mother's death from ovarian cancer and what it took to push on through. When she's not crafting bestselling books or speaking to audiences around the country, you can find Jen performing stand-up comedy, or, eating Nutella by the spoonful in the nearest grocery aisle.

"What I have found in working with about 60 of my clients is that there is always, for people that deal with imposter syndrome, there's always what I call an "originating incident". Not something dramatic, not anything traumatic, something mundane that happened in our world as a child." - Jen Coken

I need to get this right. I don't know enough. These people know more than I do. What if someone finds out I don't know as much as they think I do?

Do you ever find yourself caught in reflection that makes you doubt your accomplishments and fear being exposed as a fraud? You're not alone. The world's most powerful, successful people struggle with self-deprecating criticism, referred to as "imposter syndrome."

With the average brain processing 50,000-60,000 thoughts a day – 85% being negative and 95% repetitive – it's impossible to manage the mind and easy to fall prey to destructive thought patterns that limit our true potential. With a purposeful shift in thinking, it's possible to master the mind, separate fact from fiction, and pen positive thoughts that help us write our best self-narrative.

Jen Coken is an executive coach, author, stand-up comedian, and imposter syndrome expert. She's on a global mission to empower business leaders and their teams to quash the B.S. in their brains and shatter the beliefs that hold them back. On stage, Jen uses comedy to shake things up with no apologies, no limits, and plenty of laughs. With smooth delivery and soulful wit, she leaves audiences entertained, inspired, and empowered.

I hope you find Jen's podcast insightful and inspiring as you start the New Year. Make imposter syndrome your superpower, not your kryptonite.
